1-Getting ready: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F to ensure even baking. This recipe, which uses the exact directions from our trusted guide, will have you serving up warm, melty treats in no time. Let’s break it down so you can enjoy every bite of your homemade snack.

2-Prepare the ingredients: First, drain and chop the artichoke hearts, then chop the spinach to get them ready for mixing. In a bowl, whip together the 3/4 cup mayonnaise, 3/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, and 4 oz cream cheese until it’s nice and smooth. Next, mix in the 1/2 small white onion (finely diced), 1 tsp minced garlic, and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard to blend the flavors evenly.

3-Mixing and baking: Now, fold in the chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, 1 1/4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese, and 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese until everything is combined. Arrange the bagel halves on a baking sheet and spread each with 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the dip mixture. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles, then broil for about a minute to brown the top, but watch closely to avoid burning.

4-Finishing touches: Let the bagels rest for a minute or two before serving them warm. This method keeps the textures just right, with a crispy edge and creamy center. The total prep time is about 10 minutes, cook time is 8 minutes, and you’re done in 18 minutes total, making it perfect for a fast meal.
