Everything Bagel Pinwheel Bites
Ingredients:
- Flour tortillas (medium-sized, 8-10 inches)
- Cream cheese, softened (about 2 tablespoons per tortilla)
- Everything Bagel seasoning (to taste, about 1-2 teaspoons per tortilla)
- Butter (for cooking, about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Ingredients:
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make spreading easier. Set up your tortillas, everything bagel seasoning, and butter near your workspace. - Assemble the Pinwheels:
- Place one tortilla on a clean, flat surface.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese evenly across the entire tortilla. Make sure to cover the edges to help the roll stay sealed.
- Sprinkle an even layer of everything bagel seasoning over the cream cheese. Adjust the amount to your taste, typically 1-2 teaspoons per tortilla.
- Roll the Tortilla:
- Starting at one end, roll the tortilla tightly into a log.
- Gently press along the seam to ensure it stays closed.
- Slice Into Bites:
- Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled tortilla into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Depending on the tortilla size, you should get about 8-10 pinwheels per roll.
- Cook the Pinwheels:
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
- Place the pinwheels cut-side down in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if needed, adding more butter as necessary.
- Serve:
Remove the crispy pinwheels from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or even a light breakfast treat!
Tips:
- Customization: Add extras like thin slices of smoked salmon, diced ham, or finely chopped green onions for additional flavor.
- Make-Ahead: Assemble the rolls, wrap them in plastic, and refrigerate until ready to slice and cook.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
Enjoy these quick, flavorful bites perfect for any occasion! 🥯✨
