Notes

Greek yogurt gives the cream cheese mixture a slightly tangier, lighter consistency, while sour cream produces a richer flavor.
For strict halal preparation, check that the cream cheese, butter, Greek yogurt, or sour cream are made with suitable ingredients.
Store-bought everything bagel seasoning can replace the homemade mixture when you need an even faster appetizer.
