There’s so many beautiful things you can do with a simple bagel. Other than just smearing some cream cheese and throwing some salmon onto ours, we also like to make sandwiches out of them and bask in the beautiful results.

Because the bagels have more density than regular sandwich bread or a hamburger bun, it allows for much more beautiful layers that don’t get soggy. Since we’re suckers for such perfect cross sections, here are some of the most gorgeous shots of bagels we’ve seen so far.

Enjoy.
