Step 1

In a square baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. Add the bagel halves and flip to coat both sides. Soak the bagels cut-side down in the egg mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight.

Step 2

Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Use a fork to transfer the bagels to the pan (discard egg mixture), and cook on both sides until golden brown and crisp.

Step 3

While bagels are cooking, beat cream cheese, sugar and cinnamon until light and fluffy. (If too thick, add a bit of milk.)

Step 4

Serve bagels topped with whipped cream cheese.
