When I decided to move to South America two years ago, I didn't anticipate that the thing I would miss the most about living in my tristate-area hometown would be the fresh, pillowy everything bagels loaded with cream cheese, but they quickly became all I could think about. However, while I can't quite bring an entire suitcase of New York-style bagels each time I fly back, I was able to bring a few tubes of everything bagel seasoning back to Colombia with me on my last trip back home, and the absolute best dish I have used it in is @bakedbymelissa's Everything Bagel Rolls.

These mouth-watering everything bagel rolls are a cheesy, pull-apart variation of my favorite kind of bagel, made cinnamon roll style. By slathering an everything bagel seasoning and cheese blend on top of homemade cinnamon-roll-like dough (sans the sugar, of course) and rolling it up into a log, then cutting it and baking it, Melissa taught me a new way to satisfy my everything bagel craving no matter how far I am from the Big Apple.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, eggs, and butter.

    2. Start incorporating the flour into the milk and yeast mixture with a wooden spoon, then finish mixing the ingredients with a dough hook until it comes together into a smooth dough.

    3. Let the dough rest.

    4. Heat the oven to 350°F, and line a square or circular baking pan with parchment paper.

    5. While the dough is resting, combine the cream cheese, butter, garlic, everything bagel seasoning, and mozzarella in a large bowl. Set aside.

    6. On a floured surface, roll the dough out into a 3/4-inch thickness in the shape of a rectangle.

    7. Spread the cream cheese in an even layer across the surface of the dough, then sprinkle additional bagel seasoning and shredded mozzarella on top.

    8. Starting from one short end of the dough, gently roll the dough onto itself until it is in the shape of a thick log.

    9. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces.

    10. Add a few dollops of butter and everything bagel seasoning to the bottom of the baking pan, then place the cream cheese rolls on top.

    11. Sprinkle additional bagel seasoning and mozzarella cheese on top, then place the rolls in the oven.

    12. Bake for 25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.

    13. Remove the rolls from the pan, and pull them apart to enjoy.
