# What You Need:
→ Mini Bagels
01 - 10 mini bagels, plain or assorted
→ Cream Cheese Base
02 - 7 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
04 - Salt and pepper, to taste
→ Toppings (for colored rings)
05 - 2 tbsp finely chopped black olives
06 - 2 tbsp finely chopped yellow bell pepper
07 - 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill or chives
08 - 2 tbsp finely diced tomatoes or roasted red peppers
09 - 2 tbsp finely chopped purple cabbage or a drop of blue food coloring
→ Decoration
10 - 10 small fresh basil leaves
11 - Edible gold dust or sesame seeds (optional)
# Steps:
01 - Slice each mini bagel horizontally and arrange cut-side up on a large serving platter in the formation of five interlocking Olympic rings.
02 - Combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
03 - Separate the cream cheese mixture evenly into five small bowls. Add one specific topping per bowl: black olives, yellow bell pepper, dill or chives, tomatoes or roasted red peppers, and purple cabbage or blue food coloring. Mix each thoroughly.
04 - Spread each colored cream cheese mixture generously over two bagel halves, matching them to the respective Olympic ring colors.
05 - Position the decorated bagel halves on the platter to form the Olympic rings, slightly overlapping where necessary to mimic the ring interlocking effect.
06 - Top each ring with a fresh basil leaf and optionally sprinkle edible gold dust or sesame seeds to simulate medals. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
