This recipe transforms bagels into French toast, pairing them with creamy PHILLY spreadable cream cheese and homemade strawberry chia jam. The bagels are soaked in a sweet custard mixture, pan-fried to a golden brown, and topped with fresh strawberries, jam, seeds, and cocoa rice cereal for texture and flavor contrast.
