The history of the bagel with cream cheese and jelly dates back to the early 20th century when Jewish immigrants brought the bagel to America. The combination of a soft, chewy bagel with a creamy spread and sweet jelly quickly became a popular breakfast or snack option. New York City, with its large Jewish population, became a hub for this delectable treat. Today, the best versions of this dish can still be found in New York, particularly in iconic delis and bakeries. The key to a perfect bagel with cream cheese and jelly lies in the quality of the bagel, the creaminess of the cheese, and the sweetness of the jelly. Some chefs also recommend toasting the bagel for an added crunch.
