Ingredients

Scale

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)

  • Chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the stuffed bagels.
  2. 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.
  3. Mix Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Combine Fillings: Stir in the cooked bacon, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
  5. Stuff Bagels: Spoon the quiche filling evenly into each bagel cavity, filling them but avoiding overstuffing to prevent overflow.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
