Everything Bagel Cream Cheese Bites. These viral Cream Cheese Filled Everything Bagel Bites are so easy to make and everyone loves them! These Stuffed Bagel Minis are an everything bagel and cream cheese all in one bite.
Start by spraying a regular-sized muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Place one roll in each tin and let the rolls rise for 1 hour.
Once the rolls have partially risen (you don't want them to fully rise into a roll or they will be too fluffy. We want them denser to be more similar to a bagel texture), press each one with the palm of your hand to make a circle about 3 1/2 inches to 4 inches in diameter.
Place a generous amount of cream cheese in the center and spread with a knife. Fold each corner into the center to make a ball, pinching to seal any openings, and roll it into a ball.
Place each roll back into the muffin tin, smooth side up. Check to make sure it is sealed.
Make an egg wash by whisking together the egg and brushing it on each roll. Generously sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 14-16 minutes or until a light golden brown color. Serve warm.
