How much cream cheese is necessary for the ideal bagel experience?

In a survey of nine bagel shops around the United States, pros are slathering on an average of 0.62 ounces of cream cheese per ounce of bagel. That’s roughly 6 tablespoons on an average-sized bagel served sandwich-style. But there are differences across bagel styles and regions.

New York-style bagel shops tend to follow a heavier ratio of cream cheese to bagel, at 0.67-to-1, slathering on about 4 ounces per bagel — that’s one-quarter of a pound.

One bagel shop in California’s Bay Area slaps 3 ounces of cream cheese on its 4.4-ounce bagels.

I’ve been in radio here in Jax, playing country music for a long time, but I’m now trading my cowboy hat in for a lovely tiara & I’m excited to be on Easy 102.9.
