These everything bagel cream cheese pinwheel bites are the perfect balance of creamy, salty, and chewy, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla that stays fresh for days. They come together in under 15 minutes of active work and are ideal for brunch, parties, or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (about 3–4 stalks)
  • 1/4 cup everything bagel seasoning, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized, about 10 inches)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese: Take cream cheese out of fridge about 30 minutes before starting, or microwave for 10-15 seconds until soft but not melted.
  2. Make the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down sides. Add shredded cheddar, chopped green onions, and 2 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning. Mix until well combined. Fold in red bell pepper if using.
  3. Prepare the tortillas: Lay tortillas flat on a clean work surface. If stiff, warm in microwave for about 10 seconds to make more pliable.
  4. Spread the filling: Divide cream cheese mixture evenly among tortillas (about 1/4 cup per tortilla). Spread in a thin, even layer, leaving about 1/2-inch border around edges.
  5. Roll them up: Starting at one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log. Roll as snugly as possible without squeezing filling out the ends.
  6. Chill the rolls: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap. Place on a baking sheet or large plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
  7. Slice and serve: Unwrap rolls and place on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels (about 6-8 pieces per tortilla). Arrange on a serving platter, sprinkle with extra everything bagel seasoning, and serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Chill time is crucial for clean slices. Use room temperature ingredients for smoothest filling. A serrated knife works best for slicing. For best flavor, make rolls a day ahead. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze uncut rolls (wrapped tightly) for up to 1 month.
