Jalapeno Popper Bagel

I might have a slight addiction to any food or dish that is based off of the jalapeño popper. I think I am close to 50 recipes on this site that fall into that category. I just can not help myself, I love jalapeño poppers.

I am pretty sure I could eat this bagel everyday for lunch. My original plan was to eat half a bagel for lunch, but after eating one half I had to have another. A creamy, cheesy and spicy bagel was a lunch I looked forward to everyday. I could not wait for lunch time so I could enjoy this most delicious bagel.
