Abstract: An improved bagel holder is disclosed that includes a rigid base and a pair of upstanding vertical sidewalls attached to the base. A first sidewall is attached such that there is no movement of the wall. A second wall is attached to the base by a piece of resilient material such as nylon such that the second wall is movable toward the first wall. A cavity is defined between the inner surface of each of the two walls. The cavity is operable to hold a bagel therewithin. The inner surfaces of the two walls have depressions and protrusions formed thereon to better hold the bagel therewithin. The movable wall has a slot formed therein beginning at the top surface of the wall and extending down a predetermined distance. The slot facilitates the removal of a bagel from the cavity by inserting the tip of a knife through the slot and through the center hole of a bagel and moving the knife upward, thereby also moving the bagel upward and out of the cavity.
