Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Slice the Bagels: Slice the mini bagels in half, creating two perfect halves to work with.

3. Butter & Season: Spread a thin layer of butter on each bagel half. Sprinkle a little garlic powder (and other seasonings if you’d like) on top for extra flavor.

4. Add Cheese (Optional): If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle some shredded mozzarella or cheddar on top of each bagel half.

5. Bake: Arrange the bagel halves on the baking sheet and bake for about 8–10 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy around the edges.

6. Serve & Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!

FAQ’s

Yes, you can! Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

2. Can I use a different type of cheese?
Definitely! Cheddar, Parmesan, or even a blend of cheeses works great.

Yes! Feel free to experiment with your favorite toppings. Just be sure not to overload the bagels so they stay crispy.

4. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover bagel bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to keep them crispy.

Yes, you can freeze them before baking. Just wrap them individually and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. When you’re ready, bake directly from frozen.

To get them extra crispy, try broiling them for the last 1–2 minutes of baking.
