Ingredient Note List

Light Cream Cheese: I always recommend using the light version because it provides that rich, tangy flavor without being too heavy, and it mixes beautifully with the everything seasoning.

Dash Everything But the Salt Seasoning Blend: This seasoning blend gives these bagel bites their signature flavor with garlic, onion, and sesame seeds without adding extra sodium.

Self-Rising Flour: The key to getting that perfect chewy bagel texture in these bites, as it provides the right amount of lift and structure.

Fat-Free Greek Yogurt: In my kitchen, I prefer using Greek yogurt because it creates the most incredible two-ingredient dough that’s both protein-rich and perfectly tender.

How to Cook Stuffed Everything Bagel Bites

Step 1. I usually start by mixing the cream cheese with half a teaspoon of the everything seasoning in a small bowl until it’s smooth and well combined.

Step 2. In a large bowl, I combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt, stirring until a soft dough forms – don’t worry if it looks a little shaggy at first.

Step 3. My grandmother always said to work with slightly damp hands when shaping dough, and she was right – it prevents sticking and makes the process so much easier.

Step 4. I’ve found that making each dough ball about 2 tablespoons in size gives you the perfect bite-sized portion that cooks evenly.

Step 5. When pressing the indentation, I use my thumb to create a small well that’s deep enough to hold the filling but won’t break through the bottom.

Step 6. I usually add about 3/4 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture to each well – just enough to create that delicious surprise inside.

Step 7. My husband prefers when I seal the dough completely around the filling by gently pinching the edges together and rolling slightly.

Step 8. I’ve found that pressing the remaining seasoning onto the tops helps it stick better and creates that beautiful golden crust.

Step 9. When using the air fryer, I always spray both the basket and the bagel bites with nonstick spray for the crispiest results.

Step 10. I recommend checking them at 8 minutes first – they should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped lightly.

How to Store & Reheat

I usually store any leftover Stuffed Everything Bagel Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they stay fresh for up to 4 days. Make sure they’re completely cooled before storing to prevent condensation from making them soggy.

For longer storage, I recommend placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freezing until solid, then transferring to a freezer bag. They keep well for up to 2 months this way and make reheating individual portions super convenient.

For best results, I like to reheat these in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes, which brings back that perfect crispy exterior. You can also use the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or microwave for 30-45 seconds if you’re in a hurry.

What to Serve with Stuffed Everything Bagel Bites

Fresh Fruit Bowl: The natural sweetness of berries or sliced apples provides a refreshing contrast to the savory, seasoned flavors of these bagel bites.

Greek Yogurt Parfait: A creamy yogurt parfait with granola adds protein and makes these bites part of a more substantial breakfast or snack — or pair them with a fruity twist like our Blueberry Bagel Recipe.

Simple Green Salad: A light salad with vinaigrette dressing balances the richness of the cream cheese filling while adding fresh vegetables to your meal.

Sliced Cucumber with Dill: The cool, crisp texture of cucumber pairs beautifully with the warm, savory bagel bites and echoes classic bagel shop combinations.

Hot Coffee or Tea: In my kitchen, I often serve these with a warm beverage – the combination makes for a perfect morning treat or afternoon pick-me-up.

Hummus and Veggie Sticks: This combo creates a well-rounded snack plate that’s both satisfying and nutritious — try it with our Bagel Dip Recipe for a fun twist.
