3. Bagel Nachos: Yes, You Read That Right!

For a unique take on a gameday nachos, use the Western Bagel Chips, or slice a few bagels up thin and pop them in the oven or air fryer to make them toasty. Layer with melted cheese, jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and sprinkle of green onions for that nacho flair. Top with a dollop of sour cream, guac, or salsa (or keep it on the side), and you’ve got a creative take on a winning snack that will score big with any crowd.

You can also make Lox Bagel Nachos. Same rules apply, but top with cream cheese, fresh lox, cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion. This is a delicious take on Bagels, Lox, and Nachos!

4. Classic Bagel Board for Grazing

For a simple, sharable option, create a grazing bagel board with Western Bagel. Grab a variety of Western Bagel classics and include savory bagels like Everything or Sesame and sweet bagels like our Cinnamon Crunch Bagel or Chocolate Chip.  On the board, add options for everyone. It’s best to have some cream cheese, lox, capers, tomatoes, and cucumbers for a Classic Bagel Sandwich, but also add some sweet options like Nutella, Peanut Butter, or Western Bagel’s Pumpkin Cream Cheese and decor the board with berries.
