Tips:

  • Use high-quality bagels: Fresh, soft bagels will yield the best results.
  • Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
  • Be generous with the cheese: Don't skimp on the cheese, or your bagel bites will be dry and bland.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: For a more complex flavor, try using a combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan.
  • Season the cheese: Add some garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning to the cheese for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcook the bagel bites: The bagels should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted and bubbly, but not overcooked.
  • Serve the bagel bites immediately: Bagel bites are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
