Description

These jalapeño cheese-stuffed bagel bites offer a delightful combination of textures and flavors. Imagine sinking your teeth into a soft, chewy dough, giving way to a molten core of creamy, spicy cheese. The slight heat from the jalapeños is beautifully balanced by the richness of the cheese, creating an irresistible savory experience.

These bagel bites are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even a light meal. The dough is carefully crafted to achieve that signature bagel chewiness, while remaining tender and easy to eat. The filling, a luscious blend of cream cheese and diced jalapeños, provides a burst of flavor in every bite.

The dough is boiled before baking to provide a delightful crisp exterior and chewy interior that we all love in bagels. For an extra layer of flavor and texture, the bagel bites are generously coated with a savory bagel seasoning. This blend of seeds and spices adds a satisfying crunch and enhances the overall taste profile.

The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water! The seasoning complements the spicy cheese filling and the soft dough, creating a harmonious blend of tastes and sensations. Feel free to modify the cheese to your liking.

Cheddar, blue cheese, or feta can be substituted. These bagel bites are best enjoyed fresh, when the cheese is at its ooey-gooey best and the dough is still warm and soft. However, they can be stored in an airtight container for a few days, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

A quick zap in the microwave is all it takes to restore their cheesy goodness. They’re incredibly versatile, and their captivating flavor profile will leave you wanting more.

Instructions

    1.
    To a small bowl, add the sesame seeds, black sesame, poppy seeds, dried onion and garlic, and salt. Whisk to combine. Set the seasoning aside for later.
    2.
    To bloom the yeast, add the yeast and sugar to a bowl. Pour in the lukewarm water. Whisk and place the bowl in a warm place for 10-15 minutes. The yeast is ready when there is foam or bubbles on top.
    3.
    Add the almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt to your food processor. Pulse to mix, then add the egg. When the yeast has proofed, add it to the food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Pulse for 10-20 seconds until combined.
    4.
    In another bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and 2 tbsp cream cheese. Heat in the microwave until the cheese is melted. Stir until smooth.
    5.
    Add the melted cheese to the food processor along with the dough. Process until a uniform dough forms. Scrape the sides and process again.
    6.
    Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let it prove in a warm place for 1 hour.
    7.
    Preheat your oven to 325 Fahrenheit, and line a small baking dish with parchment paper. To a small bowl, add the remaining 2 tbsp cream cheese and finely diced jalapeno. Mix to combine.
    8.
    Oil your hands and divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll them into perfect balls and place them on the baking sheet. Flatten them with your palm, and add in 1 tsp of the jalapeno cream cheese.
    9.
    Pinch the dough to close it around the cheese. Make sure the dough has no openings. Meanwhile, add the egg yolk and 1 tbsp of water to a small bowl and whisk together.
    10.
    Working with one at a time, take a ball and submerge it in the egg yolk mixture, then roll it in the bagel seasoning. Repeat with all the bites, place them on the lined baking sheet, and cover them with a piece of plastic wrap. Let them prove for 10 minutes in a warm place.
    11.
    Bake for 8-12 minutes until they become slightly golden and have doubled in size. Set them aside to cool before handling. Enjoy them warm, or store them in an airtight container for later.
