Ingredients

Scale

Bagel Bites Ingredients:

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 large flour tortilla
  • 23 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Seasoning:

  • Everything Bagel seasoning (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Generously coat the soft flour tortilla with a smooth layer of cream cheese, ensuring complete coverage from edge to edge.
  2. Liberally dust the entire cream cheese surface with zesty everything bagel seasoning, creating an even, flavorful layer.
  3. Carefully roll the tortilla into a tight, compact cylinder, pressing gently to seal the edges and maintain a uniform shape.
  4. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into uniform bite-sized medallions, approximately 1-inch thick.
  5. Melt a pat of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, allowing it to coat the cooking surface evenly.
  6. Delicately arrange the bagel bites in the heated skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  7. Cook the bagel bites, rotating periodically to achieve a golden-brown, crispy exterior on all sides, which typically takes 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. Once perfectly crisped and heated through, transfer the bagel bites to a serving plate.
  9. Serve immediately while warm and crunchy, enjoying the blend of creamy, seasoned flavors.

Notes

  • Optimize cream cheese spreading by using a room temperature block for smoother, even coverage across the tortilla.
  • Select soft flour tortillas to ensure easier rolling and prevent cracking during cooking.
  • Enhance flavor complexity by experimenting with different seasoning blends like ranch, garlic powder, or spicy everything bagel mix.
  • Store leftover bites in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness, avoiding microwave to prevent soggy texture.
