1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon chopped parsley, plus more for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Spinach-Artichoke Mixture: In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, chopped spinach, 2/3 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes. Season with kosher salt and black pepper, and stir until well combined.
Assemble the Bagels: Place bagel halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Spread each with the spinach-artichoke mixture and top with the remaining shredded mozzarella.
