Use cream cheese on your bagels instead of butter!?!


Question: That's what cream cheese is made for.


Answers: That's what cream cheese is made for.

Yes I love cream cheese on my bagel.

Either-I like both.

I never get butter on my bagels. I like some whipped cream cheese, a slice or two of lox, and the best of the best: thin slices of hot onion! Wowee!
What a mouth feel!

uhhh. yeah! Cream cheese is AWESOME!

I have been to Lender's Bagels factory in Buffalo,NY. I gotta tell you I def like cream cheese on bagels but butter would work great on fresh bagels. Unfortunately down here in the swamps we can't get a fresh bagel dang it.

Cream cheese, absolutely! Nothing better on a bagel than cream cheese, whether alone, or with other toppings. Although... I sometimes like to use peanut butter too.

YES! I love the flavored ones on bagels that have been toasted.

Why on Earth would anyone put butter on their bagels when God made cream cheese for that purpose?!?

Cream cheese? Yeah, definitely! But butter's good too. :)

cheddar cheese bagel with herb and garlic cream cheese is my favourite! i wont touch bagels with butter.

Depends on the flavor I want to emphasize. I'll use butter with sharp cheddar and toast my bagel - especially if I have a good "Everything" or "European Seed" bagel. If I'm stuck with generic freezer bagels, though, I'll use onion and chive cream cheese whipped topping in place of the butter, plus whatever cheeses I can find, to give the poor thing some flavor. If I don't have cheese to add at all, then I definitely prefer cream cheese to butter. Either way, bagels are awesome!
