The most beautiful marriage of jalapenos, sharp cheddar cheese, and chewy New York style bagels. You won't want any other bagel after you've tried this jalapeno cheddar bagel!
3– 4 oz sharp cheddar cheeseshredded and diced, plus more for topping
2tablespoonscornmeal
Instructions
Make the dough for the New York bagels allow to rise for the one hour as instructed.
Deflate the dough and work in the jalapenos and cheddar until it is evenly spread throughout the dough. It may seem as though there is too much, but trust me on this.
Boil a large pot of water, then turn down the heat so the water is at a bare simmer.
Divide the dough into 7 balls. Try to work the balls so that most of the filling is inside the dough, but is it okay if some sticks out. Use a lightly floured finger to push a hole through the middle of the balls and gently spread out the hole until it is about an inch in diameter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Allow to rise for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Boil the bagels for about 1 minute on each side. Sprinkle the baking sheet with cornmeal and place bagels on top.
Bake for about 10 – 13 minutes, and then top with cheese. Bake for another 6 – 8 minutes. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
