1
Toast or Grill the Bagels
Preheat your toaster or grill. Slice the bagels in half horizontally. Place the halved bagels in the toaster or on the grill, cut side facing up. Toast or grill until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

2
Mix the Cream Cheese
In a bowl, add the cream cheese. If desired, chop the chives finely and add them to the cream cheese. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

3
Spread and Serve
Once the bagels are toasted, take them out and let them cool for a minute. Generously spread the cream cheese mixture on each half of the bagel. Serve immediately and enjoy!
