An Asiago cheese bagel was the one thing that helped me through stressful times, when I had no desire to eat (which seems impossible!). An Asiago cheese bagel has the salty flavor that can satisfy me even on the days I feel most awful. When I decided to move to New York City I was excited to experience the best bagels in the world. Sadly as much as a searched there are no Asiago cheese bagels in the city. So I decided to create my own, in a cheap and fast way of course.
Shailyn's Easy Asiago Cheese Bagels
All you need is a plain bagel ( I usually by them fresh)Cut the bagel in 1/2 and but the top on a small piece of parchment paper
Place one slice of an Asiago cheese squares on top of the bagel top
Put the parchment paper and bagel with cheese in the toaster.
Instead of toasting the bagel I put it on broil just until the cheese is gooey and melted on top of the bagel.
*The parchment paper is key if you don't want the cheese to drip onto the bottom of the toaster and create a burnt mess
When the cheese is fully melted you have the option of adding the bottom of the bagel to get toasted.
Leave the top of the bagel on the parchment paper and put toaster of toast, it should be on medium-low toast.
The best part is watching as the cheese bubbles and browns as the bagel is toasting, it is becoming the perfect texture.
Asiago cheese bagels are the food I crave most, and I was distraught when I couldn't find anyway to satisfy my craving in New York City. I am a mess when my craving for an asiago cheese bagel is not satisfied, I find that trying to solve this craving is what is on my mind all day. I needed to find a way to be able to eat an Asiago cheese bagel in the city, that seems to have everything in the world but my favorite bagel. It is not the most sophisticated solution, but it is fast, easy and cheap!
