Bacon Cheddar Ranch Avocado Cream Cheese Dip + Pizza Bagel (Pepperoni, Marinara, Mozzarella) on Asiago Bagel:

The pizza bagel. Have it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner; the choice is yours to make, but we’re sure you’ll be happy you did. This one-of-a-kind bagel has a special place in most people’s hearts, but how do we improve on these classic yet modern flavors?  The answer for most would be to add some ranch, but we’ve found that using our ¡Yo Quiero! Bacon Cheddar Ranch Avocado Cream Cheese Dip elevates every aspect of this delicious combination.

Spinach Artichoke Avocado Cream Cheese Dip + Lox (Smoked Salmon, capers, red onions and tomatoes) on Sesame Bagel:

Probably the most famous bagel recipe on this list, nay the world. A bagel with lox is a true all-time classic comprised of complex flavors that come together in harmony despite their differences.  We recommend you try elevating these flavors with our ¡Yo Quiero! Spinach Artichoke Avocado Cream Cheese Dip.

Spinach Bacon Avocado Cream Cheese Dip + Classic Breakfast Sandwich (Bacon, Egg, Cheese) on Whole Wheat Bagel:

The Bacon, Egg, and Cheese breakfast sandwich is an All-American classic and a personal favorite for almost anyone who is a fan of bagel sandwiches. This simple American staple pairs beautifully with our ¡Yo Quiero! Spinach Bacon Avocado Cream Cheese Dip. The added spinach provides a delightful hint of something new, while the extra bacon is, well.. extra bacon. Who doesn’t love that?

Jalapeño Popper Avocado Cream Cheese Dip + BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato) on Everything Bagel:

After the last pairing, you’ve probably picked up on the fact that we here at the ¡Yo Quiero! family are big fans of bacon. We think the best way to enhance a BLT is by providing a little bit of savory heat with our Jalapeño Popper Avocado Cream Cheese Dip. The creaminess and heat of the Jalapeño Popper flavors are sure to elevate the simplicity of this crowd-pleaser, with an exciting twist.
