"Get your taste buds ready for this cheesy delight - perfect for any family brunch or quick office lunch!"

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️

- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
- 4 bagels, halved
- 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the thawed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Arrange the halved bagels on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Top each bagel half generously with the spinach-artichoke mixture.
4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bagels are crispy.
5. Remove the bagel melts from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, and serve warm to enjoy the ultimate cheesy and creamy experience!
