Description
Monster Bagels with Cream Cheese Faces are the ultimate playful breakfast—easy, spooky, and packed with fun. Whether for Halloween brunch or just a silly weekend morning, these bagels are fast, festive, and kid-approved.
Ingredients
- 3–4 mini or regular bagels (whole wheat or plain)
- ½ cup plain cream cheese (or flavored: pumpkin spice, chive, or strawberry)
- Sliced strawberries, kiwis, or apples (for tongues)
- Blueberries or olives (for eyes)
- Candy eyes or mini marshmallows
- Sliced cucumber or bell pepper strips (for hair)
- Optional: honey, jam, or peanut butter (for sticking toppings)
Instructions
- Toast the bagels lightly, then allow to cool slightly.
- Spread cream cheese generously over each bagel half.
- Insert a slice of fruit into the center hole as a “tongue.”
- Attach eyes above the hole using cream cheese as glue—use candy eyes, blueberries, or olives.
- Decorate the top with strips of bell pepper, cucumber, or mini pretzels as hair or eyebrows.
- Serve immediately with apple cider or a sweet fall treat.
Notes
Keep bagels cool before decorating to prevent melting. Let kids join in for creative monster designs. For a sweeter twist, swap cream cheese with chocolate spread or peanut butter.
