"According to our reviewer, it was "absolutely smothered" in cheese that was crunchy on the edges, with the sharpness of the cheddar also complementing the full slices of fresh jalapeños. These peppers were the "real star of the show," as they retained their "crunch and even [had] the seeds intact," which made them "extra spicy." But it didn't feel like too much, as the heat was "balanced out with plenty of cheese and the yeasty bagel, making for a great taste experience.""
"When we ranked 10 Einstein Bros bagels from worst to best, the cheddar jalapeño took the top spot for its harmonious combination of two strong flavors atop a neutral bagel base. The only critique our reviewer had was about the bagel itself, which wasn't as dense as the others they sampled and had "a sizable air pocket in the center." Even so, the "structural quirk did nothing to detract from its overall appeal," with the cheddar jalapeño still being their favorite Einstein Bros bagel."
The cheddar jalapeño bagel pairs sharp cheddar and fresh jalapeño slices on a neutral, yeasty bagel base. The cheese is abundant and crunchy at the edges, providing savory sharpness that complements the jalapeño slices. The jalapeños retain crunch and seeds, producing noticeable heat described as extra spicy. The spice is balanced by plenty of cheese and the bagel's yeastiness for an enjoyable taste experience. The bagel can be less dense than others and may have a sizable air pocket in the center, but that structural quirk does not detract from its overall appeal.
