Ingredients:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup artichoke hearts, finely chopped
• ½ cup spinach, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella, divided
• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley, plus extra for garnish
• ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes, plus extra for garnish
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 bagels, halved

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Spinach-Artichoke Spread
   In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, artichoke hearts, spinach, ⅔ cup mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper, then mix well.
3. Assemble the Bagels
   Place the bagel halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Spread each with the spinach-artichoke mixture and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top.
4. Bake
   Bake for 10-12 minutes until the bagels are warmed through and the cheese is melted. For a golden top, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes if desired.
5. Garnish & Serve
   Sprinkle with extra parsley and red pepper flakes before serving. Enjoy!
