Everything Bagel Tortilla Roll

Pro tips

• Soften the cream cheese slightly before spreading so it distributes evenly without tearing the tortilla.
• Toast at medium-high heat just until the edges turn golden—overcooking will make the tortilla hard and brittle.
• Press down gently on the roll while toasting to help the cream cheese set and prevent the tortilla from curling.
• Apply melted butter to the outside of the roll before toasting for extra crispness and golden color.

Substitutions

• Low-carb tortilla → regular flour tortilla or whole wheat tortilla (adds carbs)
• Cream cheese → whipped cream cheese or mascarpone (lighter texture)
• Everything bagel seasoning → homemade blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, and salt
• Butter → olive oil or avocado oil for brushing

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooled rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a toaster oven at 350°F for 2–3 minutes until warm and crispy.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes. Roll and wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate up to 2 days, then toast when ready to eat.

What's the best way to toast the roll?

Use a toaster oven at 375°F for 4–5 minutes until golden brown, or toast in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally for even browning.

Can I use a regular tortilla instead of low-carb?

Yes, but regular tortillas will soften more when toasted; use a low-carb or whole wheat tortilla for better structure and texture.

How do I prevent the cream cheese from leaking out?

Spread cream cheese evenly, leaving a ½-inch border on all edges, and roll tightly before toasting.

Can I freeze these rolls?

Yes. Freeze untoasted rolls in a freezer bag for up to 1 month; thaw slightly before toasting.
