Grilled Bagel, Cinnamon Bread for Breakfast

I don't know anyone who doesn't enjoy a good bagel. It's the best quick breakfast. While most of the people I know toast them and spread cream cheese, I enjoy grilling them up in butter and serving them up -- just the bagel!

When I was in college, I worked at the school student center where we cooked most things on the grill...burgers, hot dogs, chicken breast sandwiches, eggs, bacon, cooked pasta, etc. When it came to breakfast, we even popped the bagels on the grill, grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, even grilled muffins and croissants.  It's become "my" thing now at home.

Below is a slice of Semifreddi's Cinnamon Twist Bread grilled in butter I made for Christopher (and Cory).

If you get a chance to visit Semifreddi's website, the description states that this is a great bread for French toast. True true true. (I love the way Semifreddi's web page uses a cinnamon role to scroll up and down to see their products.) Add a little flour to the french toast egg mixture and the batter becomes more flaky!

I would love to pack a grilled cheese sandwich in the kids' lunch but, it's just not the same packing something for lunch that I know will be soggy by lunch time.  It's got to be served warm and crunchy right off the pan! That's why these options will always remain a breakfast food in our household.

Anyone have ideas how to serve hot food for lunch that stays hot by lunchtime?
