Asiago Cheese Bagels
Look at what my son made! This was his first time making bagels and I think they look great! He’s not afraid to try anything when it comes to cooking, grilling or smoking and he makes his mama proud!
My 4 year old grandson thought he would help his Dad get started, he is a ray of sunshine!
This was the wedding gift we gave them quite a few years ago, are you surprised? Lol
It sure beats hand mixing and kneading.
Did you know that bagels are dipped into boiling water (or they are steamed) to create a chewy crust?
You can add so many different ingredients to the top, my son chose Asiago Cheese.
Then they get baked in the oven, great job Mike!
If you are interested in the recipe, he found this one at http://www.SallysBakingAddiction.com

He did amazing, they look fabulous!
He sure did, thank you!!
They look yummy!
They do, he did a great job even if I didn’t get any! Lol
Wow! Wonderful job! Of course he’s not afraid to try anything when it comes to cooking, he’s all like his mom 😉
I love the color of that KitchenAid 🥰
Awe thank you for your kind words! 💕
these are my very favorite kind of bagel!
My son’s too, he sent me a picture yesterday of another batch he made. I think he’s hooked!
Very definitely a chip off the old block
Awe thank you Sheree!

💜 Paraphrasing a line from the Star Wars franchise ‘You have taught him well “Mama” Diane’ The Force is strong with you both’ very well done to all involved; very good, carry on
…💛💚💙…
Hahaha you crack me up!
Those bagels look so delicious, especially with the cheese on them. Will have to give this a try!
They turned out pretty darn good for his first time. Thank you Paul!
Your son clearly inherited his cooking talent from you Diane! I would have been very happy with such a wedding gift … but I was just as happy about the washing machine that my parents gave us 😁.
Thank you he loves to cook. Oh yes I would definitely take the washing machine!
So, I got the notice at 1:48 am that your son made these bagels, which are a favorite of mine. I’ll send you my address. I’ll take a 1/2 dozen and be happy to send you my expert opinion based on my own personal taste. But it may take two shipments. Now, were you really awake at that time eating bagels???????
Well I was up until 5:00 am! Now that my husband is retired I can’t concentrate on my blog so I wait until he goes to sleep, it’s the only quiet time I get. Unfortunately I didn’t get to taste the bagels as my son lives away from us, however, I will pass on your order to him! 🤣
Sounds delicious! Well done.
What a shame he lives over an hour away and I couldn’t taste them! Lol
What a perfect match! I love bagels and I love asiago but never thought of putting them together. What a clever and talented son you have!!
I agree he’s not afraid to tackle anything.
They look delicious! And I learned a new tip today – boiling the bagels to make them chewier. Who knew!?
Right, I always thought it was the strangest thing to put dough in water before baking them.
When I saw the picture, my Southern roots emerged and I had to say, “Lord, have mercy!” They just look so good. Your son has your talent!
He sends me messages with pictures of what he makes all the tie and he is a much healthier cook than me!
I followed the link to Sally’s Baking (and bookmarked it). She tends toward healthy, but no one would lose weight with her many delicious recipes. My husband cooks most of our meals and has just crossed the line into diabetes. I’m not going to show him these bagels or Sally’s page. Too tempting. I’ll just “window shop” in her site.
My husband is type 2 but he told me not to change my cooking ways. Believe it or not, with pills, he has been able to keep his numbers good, however, he has lost about 75# since being diagnosed. There is nothing wrong with window shopping!
I bet they taste as wonderful as they look! Kudos to your boys.
I wouldn’t know I wasn’t given one! Lol (They live an hour away) Thank you Kellye!
I have never made bagels and I did not know that about steaming them. Great to have kids start young in the kitchen, my son still loves cooking.
When I was bored I took a job down the road at a Dunkin Donuts. They had a huge steamer and I believe it switched to an oven after steaming. That was a dangerous place to keep weight off! I moved on to selling hand made crafts at shows before I got too big to move! Lol
Why does there have to be calories in food, so unfair! Lol
I know and I love carbs!
Wow! Those look very tasty. I could go for one about now. You must be very proud of him!
Thank you I sure am!
I like those bagels. I had one at Panera this morning. I am diabetic too so I have to watch it.
You sound like my husband. He says it’s OK as long as it’s under so many carbs. He has been keeping his under control so I can’t complain.
I know I should be counting the carbs more regularly.
These look sooo good!
He did a great job, sure wish I could have tasted one! 🤣
Sounds great. I’ve never attempted bagels. I love Sally’s baking addiction blog.
I made them once but never again, no idea why.
Asiago cheese – yummy, yummy and more yummy!
They look delicious don’t they Mary! Thank you💕
They look great!
I thought so too! Maybe next time he could manage to give me one to try! 🤣
I am impressed! Making your own bagels! Your son did good (must run in the family, all this fabulous cooking and baking!)
He sent me a picture today of a new batch he just made. He didn’t like how he formed the first ones and this batch looked like they came from a bakery! Thank you for that nice comment💕
Perhaps I will try my hand at bagel making. I’ll let you know if I do!
Please do!
Oh these bagels look so delicious! Such a nice memory with your son 🥰
They do don’t they? He loves to try different things, I love that about him! Thank you Linda!
They look so delicious–I love bagels, too! Kudos to the baker/chef!
I agree he did a fabulous job, thank you! 🥰
They look awesome Diane – good job Mike! No I am not surprised with the wedding gift if he likes to cook. I love Asiago Cheese bagels. We used to have a bagel place near us called “Big Apple Bagel” which I think was a franchise. That was a Sunday morning treat for years – still warm with cream cheese. They made their own cream cheese. They closed – went one Sunday – gone.
Thank you Linda! I don’t think I ever went to a place that made their own cream cheese. I love bagels with cream cheese. My husband used to always buy rye bagels and now we can’t find them anywhere. I told him I will have to make them for him but never did. Oops! Lol
I loved Big Apple Bagel and their cream cheese was so wonderful After I made that comment, I looked to see if they were anywhere but they are in Clinton Township, 50 miles away from me. I have never had a rye bagel but I like rye bread. Oops … well Terry must have forgotten about what you told him. 🙂 (Or he is being polite.)
He is being polite because anytime we see a bagel place he asks if they make them and nobody ever does.
Ahh … he has not forgotten then and is just being polite. 🙂
