Bagels are usually only served freshly toasted. But I have a genius way of keeping them warm in our food flasks but not letting them go soggy. Check out the method below. Why not change it up each time by choosing a different combination of spread and toppings.  

1 x bagel of choice 

Choose a spread:

Butter
Nut butter
Jam 
Cream Cheese 

Add a topping:

1. Heat your food flask with boiling water for 5 minutes. Cut your bagel in half and pop it into the toaster. 
2. Using your spread of choice spread a thin layer onto the bagel. Add your toppings of choice. Cut into quarters before adding to the food flask. 
3. Remove the water from the flask and clean dry by using a paper towel. This is an important step so that your bagel does not become soggy. Add in your bagel and enjoy later.
