Ingredients

• 4 plain bagels
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for drizzling)

Directions

1. Get that oven going! Preheat it to 375°F (190°C). While it’s heating up, line a baking sheet so you’re all set to start.
2. Bagel prep time: Cut those sourdough discard bagels in half—make sure it’s a nice, even slice. Arrange them on the baking sheet like the stars they are.
3. Now, let’s mix up some magic. In a mixing bowl, toss together your cream cheese, chopped chives, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a little chili if you’re feeling adventurous. Stir it all together until it’s creamy and well combined.
4. Spread the love. Grab a spatula and generously slather that herby cream cheese mixture over each bagel half. Don’t hold back—we’re aiming for indulgence here.
5. Add a little drizzle. A splash of olive oil on top brings richness and that mouthwatering shine.
6. Bake to perfection. Slide the tray into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 15–20 minutes. You want them to be golden and have slightly crispy edges.
7. Let them cool for a moment... Take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes (if you can resist!). Then dig in and savor that creamy, crunchy, herby delight.
