Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 flour tortilla low-carb or regular varieties work equally well
- 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese ensure it's at room temperature for easy spreading
- to taste everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter for crisping and browning
Instructions
- Spread the cream cheese: Lay your flour tortilla flat on a clean cutting board and spread the softened cream cheese evenly across the entire surface, leaving about a quarter inch from the edges.
- Season generously: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning across the cream cheese layer, pressing gently so the seasonings adhere to the creamy base.
- Cut into squares: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the seasoned tortilla into bite-sized squares, roughly 2 inches by 2 inches for the perfect handheld size.
- Heat your butter: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, about 1 to 2 minutes, until it's fully melted and beginning to foam slightly.
- Add the bites: Carefully place the seasoned tortilla squares into the hot butter, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Cook until crispy: Allow the bites to cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side until they turn golden brown and the edges become crispy, then flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the reverse side.
- Transfer to serving: Once both sides are golden and the cream cheese has softened into the tortilla, remove the bites to a paper towel-lined plate to cool for a minute before serving.
