Bagel French Toast with PHILLY and Strawberry Chia Jam
Description
Bagel French Toast with PHILLY and Strawberry Chia Jam begins with preparing a chia jam by cooking strawberries with water and maple syrup, then mixing in chia seeds. Separately, bagel halves are soaked in a mixture of eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. The soaked bagels are cooked in butter over medium heat until set and golden on each side.
After cooking, each bagel half is spread with a generous layer of PHILLY cream cheese, topped with the homemade chia jam, fresh strawberries, toasted pepita seeds, and cocoa rice cereal for added crunch and flavor depth. The combination offers creamy, sweet, and slightly crunchy textures with fruity and rich notes.
This dish works well as a special breakfast or brunch item, with sweet and savory contrasts from the cream cheese and fruit components. The extras like toasted seeds and cereal add unique texture. Maple syrup can be drizzled on top for more sweetness.
