Looking for a bold and tasty party snack for your next gathering? Try these5-Ingredient Steak Bites on Bagels and Blue Cheeseat your next gathering. Whether it’s a game day or elegant soirée, these bagel bites will fit right in!
Can I tell you a little secret?
When I’m entertaining, I like to shock my party guests a bit with the menu I serve.
If we’re having a casual get-together, like a sports event or yard party, I like to serve dishes that are slightly moreelegantthan expected.
However, if we’re having a dinner party or wine tasting, I like to serve dishes that are slightly morecasualthan expected. (Likeglammed-up burgersorchicken pot pie.)
I do this for a few reasons…
One, when we have a dinner party, everyone alwaysexpectsmy food to be outrageously elegant because I cook for a living. They come over expecting to have to be on their best behavior. Serving casual dishes puts people at ease, and acts as a conversation starter.
Two, when we’re having a casual get-together, I get tired of the same ol’ chicken wings and cheese dip. Don’t you?
Three, giving people what theyaren’texpecting, makes the event more memorable!
Bagels may not seem like fancy food. Yet, I’ve discovered you can dress them up to fit any occasion.
These simple 5-Ingredient Bagel Bites with Steak and Blue Cheesewalk the linebetween casual and elegant. They start with tenderThomas’ Mini Bagelsthat have been toasted to golden perfection.
What Ingredients You Will Need
- Rib Eye Steak
- Thomas’ Plain Mini Bagels
- Fresh Basil – a large bundle
- Balsamic Glaze
- Blue Cheese – any variety
How to Make Mini Bagel Steak Bites
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Preheat the grill to high heat. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the rib-eye steak(s) with kosher salt and black pepper. Once the grill is hot, grill the steak(s) for 2-4 minutes per side to reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and cover loosely with foil for at least 5 minutes.
Twist the Thomas’ Mini Bagels to separate. Place the bagel halves, cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Toast for 5-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove the basil leaves from their stems. Slice the steak into thin strips/bite-size pieces, against the grain. Slice the blue cheese into thin shards.
Once the bagels are out of the oven, top each half with 1-2 basil leaves, then 1-2 slices of steak. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with shards of fresh blue cheese. Serve warm.
