INGREDIENTS

  • 6mini bagels, split
  • 3 Tbsp butter or margarine, divided
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 Tbsp Louisiana hot sauce (2 Tbsp for spicier flavor)
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

 

Directions

  1. Place mini bagel halves, crust side down, in a single layer along the bottom of a 5-quart temp-tations® baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté 1 tablespoon of the butter with onions, until onions begin to caramelize, about 7 minutes.
  3. Add chicken, hot sauce, and remaining butter to skillet and stir to combine.
  4. Top each bagel half with an equal amount of the chicken and onion mixture from the skillet. Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over everything, then top with mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 12-15 minutes, or until bagel bottoms are browned and crispy and cheese is melted. Serve hot.

 

Tara’s Tidbits®

Instead of topping the bagels with crumbled blue cheese, simply serve alongside a chunky blue cheese dressing for dipping.
