4.2 from 44 reviews

These Jalapeno Cheddar Greek Yogurt Bagels are a quick and flavorful homemade treat, combining the tangy creaminess of Greek yogurt with spicy jalapenos and melted cheddar cheese for a delicious snack or breakfast option.

Ingredients

Scale

Bagel Dough

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup low/non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 small jalapeno peppers, deseeded if preferred
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more to top
  • 1 egg, whisked

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400 F
  2. Prep Jalapenos: Dice one of the jalapenos into small pieces, and cut the other one into thin rounds. Set aside
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder
  4. Make Dough: Add in the greek yogurt and start mixing with a rubber spatula. Once the dough starts to come together, use your hands to continue mixing. The dough may feel wet and sticky at first, but continue mixing with your hands to form a smoother dough
  5. Add Jalapeno and Cheese: Add in the diced jalapeno with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar. Fold in the dough to incorporate the cheese and jalapeno
  6. Knead: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and continue kneading the dough for a couple of minutes. I suggest adding a little extra flour to your hands if the dough is sticky
  7. Shape Bagels: Split the dough into 4 equal parts for 4 smaller bagels, or cut in half for 2 regular sized bagels. Roll each one into a 6″ strand then pinch the ends together to form the bagel. Repeat with remaining dough
  8. Prepare for Baking: Place the bagels on a parchment lined baking sheet. Lightly brush each one with the whisked egg
  9. Add Toppings: Top each bagel with 2-3 pieces of the sliced jalapeno, then sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top- I also like to add a pinch of flakey salt
  10. Bake: Bake the bagels for about 18-22 minutes, until the tops are brown. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing
  11. Toast Before Serving: Before serving, slice the bagel in half and toast it for 2 minutes to crisp the inside
  12. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for 4-5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, slice the bagels and toast them for a couple of minutes to warm

Notes

  • Deseeding jalapenos reduces the heat if preferred
  • Let bagels cool 5-10 minutes before slicing
  • For storage, refrigerate for 4-5 days or freeze up to 2 months
  • Toast bagels after slicing to warm and crisp
