Savory Mac & Cheese Bagels

Einstein Bros.' New Mac & Cheese Bagel is a Cheesy Morning Treat

— May 4, 2018 — Lifestyle
For anyone who has ever wanted a socially acceptable way to enjoy macaroni first thing in the morning, Einstein Bros.' new Mac & Cheese Bagel is the perfect option. Made with one of America's most beloved boxed macaroni dinners, the new bagel is a clever take on a cheesy classic.

Just as the name suggests, the new Mac & Cheese Bagel from Einstein Bros. is a hybrid bagel infused with cheesy macaroni noodles. More specifically, the dish takes the chain's popular potato bagel and tops it with Annie’s Organic Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese. The whole thing is then baked with a blend of six different cheeses and a final slice of cheddar cheese for maximum cheesiness.

Best of all, fans can enjoy the new bagel in the form of regional breakfast sandwiches available in different parts of the US for a limited time.
