What goes good on an asiago cheese bagel?

Asiago cheese bagels already pack bold, savory flavor, but they’re even better with toppings like chive cream cheese, avocado slices, or scrambled eggs. You can also elevate your asiago cottage cheese bagels with smoked salmon and arugula for a high-protein brunch.

Is an asiago cheese bagel healthy?

It depends on the ingredients. Traditional asiago bagels can be high in carbs and calories. However, asiago cottage cheese bagels made with almond flour or low-carb flours are rich in protein and much lower in carbs, making them a better option for keto or high-protein diets.

How many carbs are in an asiago bagel?

A typical bakery-style asiago bagel has around 50–60 grams of carbs. In contrast, our asiago cottage cheese bagels recipe contains significantly fewer—usually between 8 to 10 net carbs per bagel when made with almond flour. That’s a huge difference for anyone managing their carb intake.

Is cream cheese good on an asiago bagel?

Absolutely. Plain, chive, or onion cream cheese complements the nutty sharpness of asiago beautifully. I love spreading whipped cream cheese on freshly baked asiago cottage cheese bagels as a quick and satisfying snack.
