Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using mascarpone cheese instead of ricotta. If you don't have cinnamon sugar, mix 4 teaspoons of sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Ensure the bagel halves are evenly spread with the cheese to prevent burning during broiling. If using fresh peaches isn't possible, canned peaches can work in a pinch, just drain them well.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Danish bagels as a delightful breakfast or brunch option. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad. For a more indulgent experience, consider drizzling with honey or adding a dollop of whipped cream. These bagels also go well with coffee or tea for a cozy morning treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover bagel halves in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, place them under the broiler for a minute or two until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them but be aware that the texture may not be as crisp.
