Cream cheese tortilla pinwheels cooked in a pan with butter until crispy and golden brown.
All the flavors of a bagel turned into delicious finger food!
These mini bagel bites are made with large flour tortillas, cream cheese, butter, and Everything Bagel seasoning, resulting in a mouthwatering snack that is quick to make and loved by EVERYONE in my house. They taste like crispy little handheld bagels. Yum!
Ingredients
- large flour tortillas
- cream cheese
- butter
- Everything Bagel seasoning (optional)
To make this quick and easy snack, start by spreading a generous layer of cream cheese over a large flour tortilla. Next, sprinkle on a little Everything Bagel seasoning over the cream cheese. This seasoning blend typically includes a combination of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt, providing a ton of flavor and a delightful crunch.
Once you’ve seasoned the tortilla, tightly roll it up into a log shape and slice it into bite-sized pinwheels.
To achieve that amazing crispy texture, melt a small amount of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the pinwheels in the skillet, cooking and flipping them often until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Want to make them even more exciting? Sprinkle on a little shredded cheddar and diced jalapenos. Or make them sweet with sugar and cinnamon! You could also spread a bit of jelly over the cream cheese or add diced strawberries. Anything that pairs well with a bagel is game on!
This fun and easy snack is versatile and can be enjoyed as a quick treat or as a fun breakfast option. They are great for serving on busy mornings, after school, on playdates, or even at parties or family gatherings. The combination of the creamy cheese, buttery tortilla, and the savory crunch of the Everything Bagel seasoning is irresistible.
Crispy Bagel Bites
Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 2-3 tbsp cream cheese
- Everything Bagel seasoning (to taste)
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Use a butter knife to evenly spread the cream cheese all over your tortilla and then sprinkle with seasoning.
- Tightly roll the tortilla up into a log shape and then cut into bite-size pieces. I usually get about 9 pinwheels out of one large tortilla.
- Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add your pinwheels and stir them into the butter, evenly coating all sides. Cook, flipping them often, until golden brown and crispy.
- Allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before enjoying. They are much better once the cream cheese has hardened a bit!
Notes
- What else could you stuff into these pinwheels? Try experimenting with flavored cream cheese, diced jalapeños, shredded cheddar, jelly, sliced strawberries, or anything else that pairs well with a bagel.
