A bagel should have at least a quarter pound of cream cheese on it, amirite?

This is the way.

If anyone thinks this is an unpopular opinion I hope they never cream my bagel

The Starbucks ones in the US always come with so much

Mmmmm, that's some delicious obesity.

OP is clearly American. That's a quarter of how much they're probably used to.

The bagel is just the vehicle to ingest the cheese.

That's its real purpose.

I grew up in NYC and when we order bagel w/ cream cheese, we expect a cream cheese sandwich basically lol

I like juuuust enough. I have a hard time swallowing so much of something that thick.

So, are we really not doing "phrasing" anymore?

I didn't realize this is the way until I visited the big city.

Literally why I buy whole bagels and slice and fill myself

When it comes to cream cheese, a bagel is just a spoon you don't have to wash. 😉

Actually yeah I agree I've lived in the south my whole life and I never get enough cream cheese on my bagels. Always way too much bread

More is definitely better when it comes to that classic cream cheese spread

I hate cream cheese, but that's not important. Fact is outside of NY, Jersey, and Philly, most people have never even tasted a real bagel.

If you are going to eat an entire tub of cream cheese what do you want the bagel for? Just get a spoon and save the carbs.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

I want the carbs too

Nah, having a mouthful of cream cheese and no bagel is not where it's at. I'm from NYC and now live across the country. I've never seen a bagel with that much cream cheese while in NY.

by billylangosh 2 weeks ago

Every bagel I get here in NYC has way too much cream cheese. Idk if it's 1/4 lb, but it's a lot.

by New_Veterinarian_697 2 weeks ago

He probably has no idea what a 1/4lb looks like if he thinks NYC bagel shops don't give that much lol

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

A quarter pound is 4 ounces bro. Where in NYC are you that they aren't giving you that on your bagel?

Half a brick? Really?

by Connprovidenci 2 weeks ago

They use whipped cream cheese from a tub at most bagel shops but at home i use the bricks and yeah, i do half a brick per bagel

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Is that half a brick per whole bagel, or half a brick per half?

by Connprovidenci 2 weeks ago

Half a brick per whole bagel

Eww. I'm buying the bagel to taste the bagel lol. I'm not buying a plate of cream cheese.

They neither do real bagels nor good cream cheese, definitely not them

Is this the Tim Hortons account? I'm pretty confident they do 1/2c cream cheese on a bagel

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

That's gross to me. I know that's traditional in some places, but I don't like that amount of cream cheese. It would make the bagel unenjoyable to me.

1/6 a pound. A brick should last 6 bagels.

by Otherwise-Chip9088 2 weeks ago

1/8 would be my optimization. Budget willing.

by oconnellmaximo 2 weeks ago

Yeah, enjoy your NYC bagel and I'll be over here making a bagel egg & cheese or putting an appropriate amount of cream cheese on it. Thanks.

by donna79 2 weeks ago

Believe it or not, it holds up well and doesn't get messy. Cream cheese isn't thin enough to make a big mess like that

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Same ratio with butter if you're buying it from a street cart

Mate this is the most American thing I have ever heard. If you can't see the bagel through the cream cheese in at least four places it's an instant heart attack. Just buy a tub of cream cheese at the point, you probably won't even bloody taste the bagel.

There's a balance to be found of course. I want to taste the cream cheese, but I don't want to just be eating cream cheese!
