Kasi and I stopped in at Tal Bagels Tal Bagels for coffee and a snack. We didn’t have bagels though, after noticing this Cheese Pie. Remember the Spinach one I had in Greece?
This one wasn’t quite as good, mainly because the cheese inside was still cold, while the top was a bit burnt. Still, buttery flaky pastry filled with cheese is always good.
I recommend buying one, but bringing it home to heat yourself. They are stored in a refrigerated case and they probably heat it in a toaster. It really needs to be heated in an oven for a longer time, at a lower temperature.
On a side note, the service is very friendly but I’m pretty sure I got a regular coffee even though I asked for decaf. Also, Lon remembers there bagels being pretty good, but hasn’t been there in at least two years.
I have become abig bagels and cream cheese fan. Did you go to Turkey? We were considering it for a holiday. I hate it when people don’t heat croissants properly
That looks like a giant cinnabun! Albeit with cheese on top instead of frosting..
Knife, we did stop in Kusadasi, Turkey, which is just all shopping (good leather). We loved the food though since we asked around to find out where locals eat. I don’t know much else about Turkey since we were only there for a less than a day.
Wonders, haha, this one is savory, and totally different but something about pulling apart the rounded pastry is fun, huh?
um. wow. that looks completely decadent, so i was shattered to read that it was disappointing! eh, it still makes my mouth water. 🙂
Grace, I’m going to have to search a Greek neighborhood (maybe Astoria) for a nice fresh one.
THe pastry wasn't disappointing, just the heating method, the taste was great. I agree with Jessica, bring it home heat low & slow possibly lightly covered with tinfoil so the top doesn't get too well done – k
