Cheddar and jalapeño turn Violet’s traditional East Coast-style bagel into something a little bolder. Savory, cheesy, and finished with a peppery kick, these bagels deliver plenty of flavor before you add a single spread or topping. Sourcing & practices Violet began making bagels after moving to Flower Mound and searching unsuccessfully for the kind she remembered from New Jersey. Years of experimentation helped her refine the time-consuming process needed to consistently achieve the right flavor, structure, and chew. Every batch takes about two days and is made weekly to order through a traditional boil-and-bake method. Violet uses a thoughtful combination of organic and conventional, non-GMO, and traceable ingredients, sourcing from family-owned businesses, farmer-owned businesses, and member-owned cooperatives when possible. What to expect A chewy, savory bagel with rich cheddar flavor and a noticeable jalapeño accent. It offers enough kick to keep things interesting while remaining versatile enough for breakfast, lunch, or straight-from-the-package snacking. How to enjoy them Pair with plain cream cheese, butter, egg and avocado, or use for a breakfast sandwich with plenty of melty cheese. They are also excellent alongside soup, chili, or anything else that benefits from a little cheddar and heat.
