I'm giving it 5 stars right off the bat because of your website name. Love it! Quick reference..last week I visited a new bagel shop and they have homemade jalepeno pickle cream cheese on a cheddar egg bagel and let Me say one thing ......ermergerd!!! It was ridiculous but it lacked dill and needed more pickle. I'm going to try this with your recipe and some jalepeno!!!Thanks for sharing your recipe!
