Cream Cheese Bagel Balls

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cream Cheese Bagel Balls.

1. Step 1

   Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and grease a baking pan.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually mix in the Greek yogurt and knead the dough until all the flour is incorporated. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour as needed.

3. Step 3

   Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten each ball into a mini pizza shape.

4. Step 4

   Place a scoop of cream cheese in the center of each flattened dough circle. Fold the edges over the cream cheese and pinch them closed to form a sealed ball, ensuring the cream cheese is well enclosed.

5. Step 5

   Arrange the filled dough balls seam side down on the prepared baking pan.

6. Step 6

   In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, half-and-half, and a pinch of salt. Brush this egg wash over the tops of each dough ball and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.

7. Step 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the bagel balls are golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and brush with melted butter before serving.
