Description
Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Bagels are a savory and creamy treat loaded with a mix of cream cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, and mozzarella, baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ⅔ cup finely chopped artichoke hearts
- ⅔ cup finely chopped spinach
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus extra for garnish
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 bagels, halved
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, artichoke hearts, spinach, ⅔ cup mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and mix until fully incorporated.
- Place bagel halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Spread each half evenly with the spinach-artichoke cheese mixture. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until bagels are heated through and cheese is melted. Broil briefly if desired for extra browning.
- Garnish with extra chopped parsley and crushed red pepper flakes before serving.
Notes
- Broiling at the end is optional but adds a nice golden-brown finish to the cheese.
- These bagels pair well with a side salad for a complete meal.
