Butter or Cream Cheese?

May 5, 2007

Sometimes one the weekends I splurge and eat breakfast foods I usually don't indulge in during the week. Saturdays I often crave a soft toasted bagel.
Depending on my mood, I'll choose cream cheese or butter. Since they're both dairy products, I was wondering...

yes but 2 tablespoons of cream cheese makes sense who would put 2 tablespoons of butter on a bagel? that's just gross.

That's weird I've never thought to put butter on a bagel...it's just bread and I use butter for toast. It's like ketchup with scrambled eggs but not fried eggs. I don't know why it it still sounds wrong! lol

Phew! I was scared Cream Cheese wasn't the healthier option.

I heard once that cream cheese has hardly any nutritional value so I rarely eat it, but my husband and I love treating ourselves to a breakfast of bagels, cream cheese, capers and smoked salmon every once in a while. Last time we tried low fat cream cheese and I did not notice it being diffrent than the reg.

Good point Jennifer. That's a thought for the brain to chew on.

That's so true. I agree that people more than likely put more cream cheese on their bagel than butter. Interesting...

Well you can always use margarine in place of butter, and I’m sure that has less saturated fat, especially if the margarine doesn’t have any dairy. Like earth balance, I think that would be a healthier choice, no cholesterol and no trans- fatty acids, and Jennifer your right I think everyone buts a lot less butter on their bagel then they do cream cheese.

I got that so wrong. So, if I put both on at the same time, that is bad, right!?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAJust kidding. I love it toasted and schmeared with Cream cheese. Yummmmmmmm!

I just finished my weekend splurge--buttered multi-grain bagel. Oh well...it tasted soooo good!

But, you actually use much less butter than cream cheese on your bagel, right? I know I do. I wonder if it ends up working out about the same either way...
