Ingredients
- 3 plain bagels
FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FILLING
- 5 oz plain cream cheese ½ block
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
FOR THE GARLIC TOPPING
- 3 tbsp butter melted
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Add cream cheese, honey, and heavy whipping cream to a bowl and whip until the texture is light and fluffy. If using a stand mixture, this should just take about 3-4 minutes.
- Make ½” cuts into the tops of the bagels for the cream cheese filling. Do not cut all the way through the bagel so the bagel remains intact.
- Add cream cheese filling into the cuts using a butter knife or by adding the filling into a piping bag or ziploc bag.
- In a medium bowl, add all the ingredients for the garlic topping and mix.
- Dunk the tops of the bagels into the garlic topping and lay them on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Use a basting brush to brush on additional topping.
- Air fry at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 minutes or until the tops are golden.
