Mag what now?
Don’t worry, I did not have a brain fart or spell that wrong; I meant to put magel. What the hell is a magel? You may be asking yourself. The easy answer is it is a bagel made out of meat, hence m-agel.
Meat with everything
I know it is an out-there idea, but the magel works when you don’t have grains as part of your diet and really want something to spread cream cheese on for breakfast. I know that there is no real alternative or replacement for bread in life, but I think that replacing bread products with cauliflower, coconut or meat may be the future.
I have tried several ways to create a bagel without grains and have to be honest; it has never ended well. There have been a few times I feared for my teeth and even more times that my taste buds have flat out said no.
I can’t say that the magel is the best replacement for the traditional bagel, but it is probably my favourite so far. If that changes, I will keep you posted.
This meaty treat is a great and filling way to start your day. The high protein breakfast is perfect for a lazy.
Sunday morning when you want something other than pancakes.
I like to add some chipotle powder to mine to give them a little kick if you don’t like spice or have kids that don’t like it you can leave it out. I love to pair my magel with a generous helping of cream cheese and fried egg with a perfectly runny yolk.
