Ingredients

Scale

Bagels

  • 4 bagels (plain, whole wheat, or everything)

Quiche Filling

  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sautéed spinach or bell peppers
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the stuffed bagels evenly.
  2. Prepare Bagels: Slice a thin layer off the top of each bagel or press down the center gently to create a cavity large enough to hold the quiche filling without spilling.
  3. Mix Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy to ensure a tender filling.
  4. Add Fillings: Stir the cooked bacon, sautéed spinach or bell peppers, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, blending all flavors well.
  5. Fill Bagels: Spoon the quiche mixture evenly into each bagel cavity, filling them generously but without overflowing.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Place the stuffed bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface to prevent sticking during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the filling is set and the tops have turned slightly golden brown.
  8. Cool and Garnish: Allow the bagels to cool for a few minutes to set before serving, then garnish with chopped chives if desired for a fresh finish.
