# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Slice mini bagels horizontally and arrange them cut-side up on a large platter in the pattern of the five interlocking Olympic rings.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper until smooth and well blended.
03 - Split the cream cheese mixture evenly into five small bowls. Add each topping to a separate bowl: black olives for black, yellow bell pepper for yellow, dill or chives for green, tomatoes or roasted red pepper for red, and purple cabbage or blue food coloring for blue. Stir each mixture thoroughly.
04 - Spread each colored cream cheese blend generously onto two bagel halves, matching the colors to the Olympic ring layout on the platter.
05 - Arrange the decorated bagels to form the shape of the Olympic rings, allowing slight overlaps where rings interlock.
06 - Top each ring with a fresh basil leaf and optionally sprinkle edible gold dust or sesame seeds to enhance the medal effect.
07 - Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
