The cream-cheese-stuffed bagel is here | CNN Business

The bagel is filled with cheese after it is baked, making it more of a cream cheese bagel donut, if not in spirit then at least in form.

The bagels are “baked fresh daily and then cooled to be individually stuffed with Philly’s signature cream cheese one at a time,” according to Jay Rushin, CEO of H&H. “H&H Bagels use a pastry tool to pipe in the Philly cream cheese by hand,” he added. “The process leaves very small holes where the insertions are made, similar to a jelly donut.”

    Putting some of my NJ cred on the line here, but the ratio of cream cheese to bagel is way way too high on those. By hollowing out the bagel, you have both throw off that ratio and altered the texture of the bagel to the point where it's not really a bagel anymore, but a bagel-like pastry. The inner core of the bagel is the softest part and now the gradient has been disturbed.
