Bagels
- 4 bagels (plain, whole wheat, or everything)
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
Garnish (Optional)
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the stuffed bagels.
- Prepare Bagels: Slice a thin layer off the top of each bagel or press down the center to create a cavity for the quiche filling.
- Mix Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Combine Fillings: Stir in the cooked bacon, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
- Stuff Bagels: Spoon the quiche filling evenly into each bagel cavity, filling them but avoiding overstuffing to prevent overflow.
- Bake: Place the stuffed bagels on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
- Cool and Garnish: Let the bagels cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives if desired for added flavor and color.
Notes
- Pre-cook any vegetables to prevent watery fillings.
- Customize fillings with your favorites such as sausage, mushrooms, or feta cheese.
- Use slightly stale bagels for easier handling, as they hold their shape better.
- You can prepare the bagels ahead of time and bake them fresh the next day.
- Avoid overstuffing the bagels to prevent filling overflow during baking.
- Ensure quiche filling is fully cooked with a clean toothpick test to avoid undercooking.
- Using day-old bagels helps maintain firmness and prevents sogginess.
