Equipment (affiliate links)

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • 1 Baking tray
  • 1 Piping bag or ziploc bag
  • 1 Parchment Paper

Ingredients

CREAM CHEESE FILLING

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened/room temp
  • 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 pinch salt

GARLIC BUTTER

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons kewpie mayo
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

ASSEMBLING

  • 6 bagels

Instructions

MAKE THE CHEESE FILLING

  • To a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, granulated white sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt.
  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer and whisk until smooth. Set aside.

MAKE THE GARLIC BUTTER

  • To a bowl, add the egg, melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, milk, mayo, oregano, grated parmesan, and salt.
  • Mix together until combined well and set aside.

ASSEMBLE AND BAKE

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Make 6 cuts across each bagel but do not make the cuts going all the way down. Cut a small section out of each cut to make room for the cream cheese filling.
  • Using a piping bag or ziploc bag with the tip cut off, fill the bagel with the cream cheese filling in each of the cuts.
  • Once all the bagels are filled, dunk each of them in the garlic butter. Fully submerge it, then let any excess drip off, and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake in the oven for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown all around.
  • Once out of the oven, garnish with more chopped parsley and grated parmesan. Allow to cool down and then enjoy!
