Panera Bread has announced the launch of its all-new Asiago Bagel Stacks, sandwiches combining the cheesy flavor of the bakery-café chain’s signature Asiago Bagel with a selection of bold, satisfying flavors.
Available for a limited time nationwide starting this week, Asiago Bagel Stacks ($7.99) come in three distinct varieties:
- Chicken Roma – Grilled chicken, melty fresh mozzarella, vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped basil, fresh arugula, Green Goddess dressing, salt and pepper with a garlic aioli drizzle
- Spicy Steak – Tender, marinated steak with melty provolone, creamy salsa verde spread, fresh arugula, red onions, and zesty sweet peppers
- Zesty Tuscan – Grilled chicken, soppressata, melty provolone, chopped basil, fresh arugula, zesty sweet peppers and garlic aioli drizzle
The launch of Asiago Bagel Stacks comes just in time for National Bagel Day on January 15, and Panera is celebrating with a limited time “Bagel Bash” deal. From January 15-21, MyPanera members will earn a reward for a free bagel, with the purchase of an Asiago Bagel Stack sandwich.
“Our Asiago bagel is a signature item that our guests have always loved for its rich, cheesy flavor, and we realized there was room to showcase it far beyond the breakfast menu as part of this new lineup,” says Mark Shambura, chief marketing officer, Panera Bread. “Our guests are going to love the bold, zesty flavors these new sandwiches offer, with a price that delivers great value for lunch or dinner.”
This is the first time Panera has specifically crafted a lunch sandwich built for one of its bagels. The Asiago bagel has long been one of the most popular bagel options for its savory cheese and soft, chewy texture.
