Veggie Bagel Buddies
By Lois L. from Indus School, Birchdale, Minnesota.
Description
Veggie-topped whole grain bagels create a moist, soft side dish addition to any soup or chili menu. The satisfying chewiness of the whole grains, topped with a zingy cream cheese spread and finely-chopped, colorful, crunchy raw vegetables and cheddar cheese not only deliver “eye candy” but a delicious, delectable flavor, as well. Amazingly low fat content with high nutritional value is what these bagels are all about!
