A batch of freshly baked Pesto Bagels with a golden-brown crust and a slight green tint from aromatic garlic and basil pesto. The bagels have a rustic, artisanal appearance with a chewy texture and crisp exterior. They are arranged on a wooden cutting board atop a rustic wooden table, with a few sliced open to reveal their soft, herby interior. A small dish of pesto, fresh basil leaves, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds complete the inviting presentation. Warm, natural lighting enhances the cozy, homemade feel.
