Ingredients:
- Flour tortillas (large, burrito-sized)
- Cream cheese, softened
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Butter, for cooking
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Lay out a flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface.
- Spread Cream Cheese:
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla. The cream cheese layer should be thin and even.
- Sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning:
- Sprinkle a generous amount of everything bagel seasoning over the cream cheese layer. Be as liberal as you like; this is where the flavorful crunch comes from.
- Roll Up the Tortilla:
- Carefully roll up the tortilla into a tight log or cylinder. Make sure it’s rolled as tightly as possible without squeezing out the filling.
- Slice into Bite-sized Pieces:
- Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled tortilla into bite-sized pinwheel pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. You can secure the ends of the tortilla with a bit of cream cheese to help the pinwheels hold their shape if needed.
- Cook Crispy Pinwheels:
- In a hot pan, melt a small amount of butter over medium heat. Place the pinwheel bites, seam side down, into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Serve Warm:
- Remove the crispy everything bagel pinwheel bites from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately while they are hot and crispy.
These crispy everything bagel pinwheel bites are perfect for parties, snacks, or appetizers. Enjoy the delightful combination of creamy, crunchy, and flavorful goodness!
