New York City’s culinary scene is no stranger to the extravagant, but a recent collaboration between Dominique Ansel Bakery and Popup Bagels has taken the city’s love for unique flavors to new heights. This weekend, the two renowned bakeries are offering a limited edition Parmesan Gruyère Bagel with Garlic Butter Escargot Schmear, priced at $18.50.
The innovative creation, touted as the “ultimate bagel and schmear combo with a French twist,” features garlicky escargot sautéed with brown butter, fresh herbs, crème fraîche, and cream cheese, all served warm atop a freshly baked Parmesan Gruyère bagel. Adding a delightful crunch to the mix are Parmesan panko breadcrumbs sprinkled generously over the escargot schmear.
Friday’s batch of these specialty bagels sold out in record time, with eager customers flocking to Dominique Ansel’s Spring Street location as early as 8 a.m. Social media posts from Popup Bagels confirmed the frenzy, noting that the entire stock was depleted before 9 a.m.
A promotional video shared on social media by Dominique Ansel Bakery showcased the meticulous preparation process, inviting viewers to “drizzle that warm garlic butter from the shell overtop…then rip, dip, and ENJOY!” The video garnered a flood of positive comments, with enthusiastic fans expressing their eagerness to indulge in this decadent treat.
For those looking to savor this culinary delight, time is of the essence. The Parmesan Gruyère Bagel with Garlic Butter Escargot Schmear will only be available at Dominique Ansel’s Spring Street location until supplies last this weekend. Don’t miss the chance to experience this unique fusion of flavors that promises to tantalize the taste buds of adventurous food enthusiasts across the city.
