Ingredients

Scallion Cream Cheese

3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
2-3 green onions (thinly sliced)

Bagels

1 tablespoon butter
3 Eat Royo Everything Bagels (discount code COOKINGKATIELADY)

Grilled Cheese Fillings

3 ounces mozzarella (thinly sliced)
3 tomato slices (thinly sliced)
Red onion (slices, to taste)
Everything bagel seasoning (to taste)

Instructions

1
Make the scallion cream cheese. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and sliced green onions until well combined. Set aside.
2
Toast the bagels. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the bagel halves cut-side down and toast for 2–3 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove them from the skillet and reduce the heat to low.
3
Assemble the grilled cheese. Spread the scallion cream cheese over the cut side of each bagel half. Add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning, if desired. Layer the mozzarella, tomato slices, and red onion over the bottom halves, then place the remaining bagel halves on top.
4
Grill until melty. Return the assembled bagels to the skillet over low to medium-low heat. Cover with a lid and cook until the mozzarella is completely melted and the outside of the bagels is warm and lightly crisp. Flip halfway through, if needed, so both sides heat evenly.
5
Serve. Remove from the skillet, slice each grilled cheese in half, and enjoy immediately while the cheese is warm and melty.
