How to Make Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Bagels

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Spinach

Thaw frozen spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

This keeps the topping creamy instead of watery.

Step 3: Make the Filling

In a large bowl combine:

• Spinach
• Chopped artichokes
• Cream cheese
• Sour cream
• Mozzarella
• Parmesan
• Garlic
• Salt and pepper

Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.

Step 4: Prepare the Bagels

Place the bagel halves cut-side up on the baking sheet.

Lightly toast them for 3–4 minutes if you prefer extra crispiness.

Step 5: Add the Topping

Spread the spinach artichoke mixture evenly over each bagel half.

Add extra shredded cheese if desired.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

The smell of garlicky cheese and toasted bagels at this point is absolutely incredible.

Step 7: Serve

Let them cool slightly, sprinkle with parsley or red pepper flakes, and serve warm.
