Hold your frozen bagel under cool running water for about 30 seconds. This helps it rehydrate and get that classic chewy texture. Pop it straight into a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F for 5 minutes. No need to preheat! The bagel comes out warm and crusty, just like fresh. If you’re in a rush, wrap the bagel in a damp paper towel and microwave in 10-second bursts until thawed. For extra crunch, broil it for 2 minutes after. Planning ahead? Leave your bagel out overnight at room temp and it’ll be ready for breakfast the next day. I always freeze my bagels the day I get them—makes a huge difference in taste! #BagelHacks #BreakfastTips #ToastedBagels #Food #Cooking
