According to me, there's only one bagel flavor that matters. That's because there's only one flavor that encompasses everything great about bagels and MORE: The Everything Bagel. Also known as the Beyonce of bagels, the Shaq of bagels, the freakin Meryl Streep of bagels...where was I? With sesame seeds, poppy seeds (the obvious classics) plus onion, garlic, and lots and lots of delicious salt, it truly has everything we'd ever want in a bagel.
The Everything seasoning that bagels made famous is actually good on pretty much anything. Case in point: Everything Egg Rolls. These guys are kind of, well, I'm not trying to be dramatic but ... they're Earth-shatteringly good. Filled with the salty/creamy/fresh combination of cream cheese, bacon and scallions, they're literally and figuratively bursting with flavor.
As soon as they come out of the hot oil, hit 'em with your homemade everything seasoning and dig right in. If your kitchen is anything like ours, the whole plate will be eaten standing up in approximately 2 minutes. Trust me, they're that good.
