Description

Delicious homemade Everything Bagel Bites stuffed with creamy, tangy cream cheese. A perfect savory snack or appetizer featuring a soft, slightly tangy dough made from Greek yogurt and flour, brushed with egg wash, and topped generously with everything bagel seasoning. These bites are baked to golden perfection and ready in under an hour.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 1 Cup Non-fat Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

Filling

  • 2 Ounces Cream Cheese

Topping

  • 1 Egg (for egg wash)
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the bagel bites.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, Greek yogurt, and baking powder. Mix with a spatula until a thick, sticky dough forms. Use kitchen gloves or hands to fully incorporate the dough for an even texture.
  3. Knead Dough: Lightly flour your countertop and transfer the dough onto it. Knead for about one minute, adding more flour if the dough sticks to the surface, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide Dough: Shape the dough into a round ball. Slice it down the middle, then cut each half in half, and then each quarter into four equal pieces, resulting in 16 equally sized dough balls.
  5. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: Keep the cream cheese chilled to make it easier to work with. Cut the 2 ounces of cream cheese into 16 small cubes by slicing it lengthwise into strips and then into smaller pieces.
  6. Stuff Dough Balls: Flatten each dough ball into a disc. Place one cube of cream cheese in the center, then pinch the dough edges around the filling to seal completely. Roll gently to form smooth, sealed balls. Repeat for all dough pieces.
  7. Apply Egg Wash: Place the stuffed dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Whisk the egg and brush the tops of each dough ball to help the seasoning stick and promote browning.
  8. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over the tops of the egg-washed dough balls according to your taste preferences.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the bites turn golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before enjoying these warm, savory stuffed bagel bites.

Notes

  • Keeping the cream cheese chilled makes it easier to cut and helps maintain the filling shape during baking.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more flour a tablespoon at a time while kneading.
  • Everything bagel seasoning can be adjusted to taste or substituted with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, and onion if preferred.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking to the baking sheet.
  • These bagel bites are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
