Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces bagels (any flavor) Use day-old bagels for better texture.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend) Feel free to experiment with other cheeses like pepper jack or feta.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil) for garnish (optional) Garnish for extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the bagels in half and then cut each half into quarters.
  3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brush each bagel piece with this mixture.
  4. Arrange the bagel pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Top each piece with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven, and let them cool slightly before garnishing with fresh herbs, if desired.
  3. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Serve with creamy dips like hummus or guacamole, fresh veggie sticks, or a side salad for a complete snack experience. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes for best results.
