If you’re looking for easy and delicious snack or breakfast ideas, look no further than these crispy bagel pinwheels!

These mini bagel bites are made with large flour tortillas, cream cheese, butter, and Everything Bagel seasoning, resulting in a mouthwatering treat that is quick to make and loved by both kids and adults.

Ingredients

• large flour tortillas
• cream cheese
• butter
• Everything Bagel seasoning (optional)

To make these Crispy Bagel Bites, 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 burst of flavor and a delightful crunch.

Once you’ve seasoned the tortilla, tightly roll it up into a log shape. Then, using a sharp knife, slice the log into bite-sized pinwheels. Each pinwheel will reveal a beautiful swirl of cream cheese and the savory DELICIOUSNESS of Everything Bagel seasoning.

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. The butter adds a delectable richness and helps the pinwheels become perfectly golden and crispy.

These yummy bagel bites are a mouthwatering combination of cream cheese, buttery tortilla, and savory Everything Bagel seasoning cooked in a skillet until crispy and golden brown.

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, playdates, or even at parties or family gatherings! The combination of the creamy cream cheese, buttery tortilla, and the savory crunch of the Everything Bagel seasoning is simply irresistible.

Servings: 1

Ingredients

• 1 large flour tortilla
• 2-3 tbsp cream cheese
• Everything Bagel seasoning (to taste)
• 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

1. Use a butter knife to evenly spread the cream cheese all over your tortilla and then sprinkle with seasoning.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before enjoying. They are much better once the cream cheese has hardened a bit!
