Description

Cheesy Spinach-Artichoke Bagels are a creamy, warm, and easy-to-make recipe that doubles as a healthy snack idea for families or a quick vegetarian bagel meal.


Ingredients

225 g cream cheese, softened

100 g shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

50 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese

65 g finely chopped artichoke hearts

65 g finely chopped spinach

15 ml chopped fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish

1 garlic clove, minced

2.5 ml crushed red pepper flakes, plus extra for garnish

Kosher salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

2 bagels, halved


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, artichokes, spinach, 65 g mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Season well.

3. Place bagel halves cut side up on baking sheet. Spread mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella.

4. Bake for 10–12 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted. Broil briefly if you want golden tops.

5. Top with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve hot.


Notes

Drain spinach and artichokes well to avoid soggy toppings.

For a healthier twist, swap cream cheese with Greek yogurt.

Use mini bagels for party platters or appetizers.

Make ahead by prepping the topping 2–3 days in advance and storing in the fridge.
