These mini bagel bites feature a crispy everything bagel crust with a smooth, creamy cream cheese filling, perfect for a quick, comforting snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Mini bagels (plain or everything), cut into quarters (about 3 inches in diameter)
  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives or scallions (optional)
  • Melted butter, for brushing
  • Everything bagel seasoning (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried onion flakes, coarse salt)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and chopped chives or scallions if using. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Cut mini bagels into quarters to yield about 16 bite-sized pieces.
  4. Brush each bagel quarter lightly with melted butter.
  5. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over each buttered piece.
  6. Spoon or pipe about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each bagel quarter.
  7. Arrange the filled bagel bites on the prepared baking sheet with space between each.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown and cream cheese softens but does not melt away.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth spreading and avoid overfilling bagels to prevent sogginess. Brush bagels with melted butter before seasoning for a golden, crispy finish. Watch oven closely to avoid burning. Reheat in oven at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to restore crispness.
