-
Spread the cheesy spinach-artichoke mixture evenly over each bagel half.
-
Sprinkle the remaining 25 grams of shredded mozzarella on top of each bagel half.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden at the edges.

Remove from the oven and garnish with extra parsley and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.

Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Adjust the spice level by increasing crushed red pepper flakes or adding hot sauce.
For a dairy-free version, swap out the cream cheese and cheese for plant-based options.
Add extra veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers for more flavor.
