Montreal Style Bagels: A Homemade Classic with Family Memories

Sunday Morning Tradition: A Special Breakfast to Remember

There's nothing quite like waking up early on a Sunday morning to the smell of fresh, warm bagels straight from the oven. This weekend I made Montreal-style bagels, a nostalgic favorite from my university days. I had a house full flour, and fun as I whipped up a breakfast feast with bagels, cream cheese, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, and cold cuts.

If you’re craving the sweet, chewy perfection of Montreal bagels and can’t find them locally, this easy homemade recipe will become your go-to. Whether you knead by hand or use a breadmaker, the results are absolutely delicious.


Ingredients List

Dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water

  • 5 tablespoons sugar

  • 3 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1 package (8g) dry active yeast (not instant)

  • 1 small egg, beaten

  • 1 tablespoon malt drink powder or syrup

  • 4 1/2 cups unbleached (or all-purpose) flour

  • 1 teaspoon kosher or regular salt

Boil & Toppings:

  • 6 quarts water

  • 1/3 cup honey

  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds or poppy seeds (or both!)


How to Make Montreal Style Bagels

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar, canola oil, yeast, egg, and malt syrup until yeast dissolves.

  2. Stir in salt and 1 cup of flour. Gradually add more flour (around 3 cups) until a soft dough forms.

Step 2: Knead and Rest

  1. Knead the dough for 10-12 minutes, adding flour as needed, until it's smooth and firm.

  2. Cover with an inverted bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Shape the Bagels

  1. Divide dough into 12 equal parts. Roll each into a 10-inch rope and form into a ring, pressing the ends together (use water if needed to seal).

  2. Let the shaped bagels rise for 30 minutes.

Step 4: Boil with Honey

  1. Fill a large pot with 6 quarts of water and stir in honey. Bring to a boil.

  2. Boil 4 bagels at a time for 90 seconds, flipping at 45 seconds. Remove and pat dry with clean towels.

Step 5: Add Seeds and Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line two baking sheets with parchment.

  2. Sprinkle boiled bagels generously with sesame or poppy seeds.

  3. Bake for 8 minutes, flip, and bake another 5–8 minutes depending on your oven. Watch closely to avoid burning.


Tips for Perfect Montreal Bagels

  • Watch the Oven: These bagels bake quickly. Adjust times based on your oven.

  • Get Creative with Toppings: Try everything bagel mix, dried onion, or even cinnamon sugar.

  • Use a Breadmaker: Use the dough cycle for hands-off kneading.

  • Boiling is Key: Don’t skip the honey water – it gives that iconic crust and sweetness.


Final Thoughts: Food, Family, and Memories

Bagels might just be flour and water, but when made with love and shared with family, they become something much more. I hope you give this recipe a try and create your own kitchen memories.

Chicken with Tomato, Three Cheeses, and Olives

Looking for a delicious, lighter comfort food recipe that doesn’t skimp on flavor? This Chicken with Tomato, Three Cheeses, and Olives is exactly that! It’s a lightened-up version of a classic breaded chicken dish, inspired by Rose Reisman’s Family Favorites cookbook. The result? A cheesy, flavorful, Mediterranean-inspired dish that’s quick and easy to make!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Healthy and Flavorful – A lighter take on breaded chicken while keeping all the cheesy goodness.

  • Quick and Easy – Ready in just 30 minutes, making it a perfect weeknight dinner.

  • Customizable – Swap out the cheeses, tomatoes, or olives to suit your tastes!


Ingredients (Serves 6)

For the Chicken:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tbsp skim milk

  • 3/4 cup breadcrumbs

  • 2 tsp vegetable oil

Toppings:

  • 1 1/2 cup diced vine or plum tomatoes

  • 1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese

  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese

  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/4 cup chopped green olives

  • 1 tsp chopped garlic

  • 1 tsp dried basil

  • 3 tbsp fresh chopped basil

  • 2 tsp vegetable oil


Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray.

Pound the chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness for even cooking.

2. Bread and Sear the Chicken

In a bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Dip each chicken breast into the mixture, then coat lightly with breadcrumbs on a separate plate.

Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown but not fully cooked through. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.

3. Add the Cheese and Tomato Topping

In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, Asiago, goat cheese, Parmesan, olives, garlic, and dried basil. Spoon the mixture evenly over the chicken.

4. Bake to Perfection

Cover and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Remove the cover and bake for an additional 3 minutes to slightly crisp the topping.

5. Garnish and Serve

Top with fresh basil and serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a crisp salad. Enjoy!


Pro Tips for the Best Chicken with Tomato, Three Cheeses, and Olives

  • Use fresh ingredients – Fresh basil and vine-ripened tomatoes elevate the flavors.

  • Try different cheese combos – Swap Asiago for Havarti or add feta for a tangy kick.

  • Make it crispy – If you love extra crunch, lightly spray the breadcrumbs with cooking spray before searing.


Final Thoughts

This Chicken with Tomato, Three Cheeses, and Olives is a fantastic way to enjoy a comforting, cheesy dish without feeling too heavy. It’s an easy, 30-minute meal that’s great for busy nights while still feeling gourmet. The mix of savory cheeses, juicy tomatoes, and briny olives makes for an unbeatable combination.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
