Fiery Garlic Bagel Thins

Ingredients:

• 5 bagels
• 1/2 cup butter
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp TABASCO Garlic Pepper Sauce
• salt to taste

Steps:

Preheat broiler. Slice bagels crosswise into fifths. In small saucepan, melt butter with garlic and simmer over very low heat 2 minutes or until garlic has softened. Add lemon juice, garlic sauce and salt to taste. Liberally brush one side of each bagel with lemon-garlic butter. Broil bagels on one side until golden. Watch carefully; this takes only a minute. Turn bagels over and broil until golden. Serve hot or store in an air-tight container. Makes 25 bagel thins.
