Bagels and cream cheese are one of our family’s favorite breakfasts. We love how easy brands like Lender’s Bagels are to prepare for a large family in the hectic mornings. My children love the Plain, Blueberry, and Cinnamon-Raisin flavors because they are kid-friendly, and really great for the entire family. While I enjoy all the available flavors, I admit, I am more of a savory girl so I am partial to the Onion flavor which pairs so well with my easy Homemade Scallion Cream Cheese Recipe.

Lender’s has a bagel for everyone! On a recent shopping trip to Walmart, I picked up a bag of Plain Bagels and a bag of Onion Bagels. They were located in the refrigerated dairy section right near the cream cheese. I also picked up some Great Value milk for breakfasts. My kids love their milk so always having a gallon available is a must in this home.

Speaking of milk, did you know that the Great American Milk Drive is currently in full swing? The reality is, childhood should be filled with playing, learning and growing. Sadly, for many children who face hunger, even basic staples like milk – and the nutrients that help power childhood activities – are missing.

There is a silver lining to this, though! Now, you can help feed a child by purchasing 1 or more of these products (below), you are helping Feeding America provide nutrient- rich milk to kids and families in need. Visit milklife.com/give to learn more.

Now, back to these bagels and a yummy recipe I cannot wait to share with you all! Since Lender’s Bagels for breakfast are time-saving, easy, tasty and nutritious I had to make a companion spread for them. This Homemade Scallion Cream Cheese spread on a Lender’s Bagel, paired with a glass of milk is truly the start to building a better breakfast!

Here is what you will need to recreate this Homemade Scallion Cream Cheese:

• 1 8 ounce package of plain cream cheese (room temp.)
• 1/2 cup of chopped scallions
• 2 tablespoons of regular sour cream

Directions:

In a bowl, combined the room temperature cream cheese and sour cream until fairly smooth.

Mix in the chopped scallions, and set aside until you are ready for some heaven on a toasted bagel. Seriously, if you love savory spreads, this is for you!

Besides breakfast, Lender’s Bagels are also great for after school snacks. My kids love them with some pizza sauce and cheese toasted–ok, so I do too!!
