Blackstone Griddle Toasting Bagel Recipe Tips

  • Use Fresh Bagels: For the best results, use fresh bagels that haven’t been sitting in the pantry for too long. Fresh bagels toast more evenly and give you that perfect crunch.
  • Preheat the Griddle: Ensure your griddle is preheated to medium-high heat before adding the bagels. This helps achieve an even toast with a golden, crispy exterior and soft interior.
  • Use Butter or Oil: Lightly butter or oil the cut side of the bagel for a richer, crispier texture. You can use olive oil, melted butter, or even a flavored butter for an extra touch.
  • Monitor the Toasting Time: Bagels toast quickly, so keep an eye on them to avoid burning. Check the bagels after 2-3 minutes, flipping them if necessary to get even toast on both sides.
  • Experiment with Toppings: Once toasted, try adding toppings like cream cheese, butter, smoked salmon, or avocado. You can also top your bagel with some savory seasonings like garlic powder or everything bagel seasoning for added flavor.
  • Avoid Overcrowding: If you’re toasting multiple bagels, be sure not to overcrowd the griddle. Leave enough space between the slices so they cook evenly and don’t steam.
  • Customize Bagel Thickness: If you prefer a softer interior, toast for less time. If you like it extra crispy, give it a bit more time on the griddle, but watch carefully to prevent over-toasting.
