Kitchen Equipment Needed

To make Bagel Bits, you’ll need the following kitchen equipment:

  • Baking sheet
  • Oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spatula

Serving Suggestions

Bagel Bits are delicious on their own, but if you want to take them to the next level, consider serving them with some complementary dishes. A fresh fruit salad or a side of mixed greens with a tangy vinaigrette makes for a light and refreshing accompaniment. If you’re serving Bagel Bits as part of a brunch spread, consider pairing them with mimosas or Bloody Marys for a fun and festive touch.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftover Bagel Bits (which is unlikely—they’re so delicious, they tend to disappear quickly!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven for a few minutes until warmed through.

FAQ

Can I use regular-sized bagels instead of mini bagels? Absolutely! Feel free to use whatever size bagels you prefer. Just keep in mind that you may need to adjust the baking time accordingly.

Can I make Bagel Bits ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the Bagel Bits ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake them. This makes them perfect for entertaining or meal prep.

Can I customize the toppings on my Bagel Bits? Of course! Get creative and experiment with different toppings to suit your taste preferences. Try swapping out the smoked salmon for sliced turkey or roast beef, or adding some sliced avocado for an extra creamy touch.
