1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (plus extra for garnish)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 bagels, halved
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Spread:
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, spinach, 2/3 cup of mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste and stir until well mixed.
Assemble the Bagels:
Place the halved bagels, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread each half with the spinach-artichoke mixture, then top with the remaining mozzarella.
Bake:
Place the bagels in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bagels are warmed through.
If you'd like a golden top, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven and garnish with additional parsley and red pepper flakes.
