Description
Discover a quick easy method for creamy cream cheese stuffed everything bagel bites that deliver perfect flavor and texture in every bite hasslefree
Ingredients
12 mini bagels or 6 regular bagels sliced thick
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Optional: 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- If using regular bagels, slice them into thick rounds about ½ inch thick. Mini bagels can be halved or used whole if bite-sized enough.
- Using a small spoon or your fingers, hollow out a small well in the center of each bagel piece, creating room for the cream cheese stuffing.
- Mix the softened cream cheese with any optional add-ins in a small bowl to spread flavor evenly.
- Generously fill each bagel well with the cream cheese mix, smoothing the top with the back of your spoon.
- Brush the outsides and tops lightly with olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle a hearty layer of everything bagel seasoning over each bite.
- Place the bites on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bagel edges are golden and the cream cheese is slightly soft but holds its shape.
- Let cool for a couple of minutes—you want them warm but not lava-hot for the best bite experience!
