4 pcs medium bagels200 g shredded cheddar cheese50 g shredded mozzarella cheese60 g butter, melted1 tsp garlic powder0.5 tsp onion powder0.3 tsp salt1 pinch ground black pepper1 tbsp dried parsley

Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Cut the bagels into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm (1 inch) each. In a small bowl, melt the butter, then stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and dried parsley.

Combine

Place the cut bagel pieces in a large bowl. Pour the seasoned butter over them and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated. Then, add the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and mix again until the cheese is evenly distributed.

Bake

Spread the cheesy bagel bites in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are not too crowded. Bake for 12-15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bagel bites are golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately.

Extra Tips

► Experiment with different types of cheese, such as provolone or gouda, for a varied flavor experience.

► For an even more intense garlic flavor, add a little freshly minced garlic to the melted butter.

► Sprinkle with fresh chives or chopped parsley before serving for an even fresher taste.
