Ingredients

Scale

For the Bagels:

4 large bagels (plain or everything bagels work best)

For the Quiche Filling:

4 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (whole milk preferred for creaminess)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced cooked bacon (optional)
1/4 cup chopped spinach
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
Salt and pepper to taste
A pinch of smoked paprika (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions

Prepare the Bagels: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the tops off the bagels about one-third of the way down and gently hollow out the centers, leaving about a half-inch thick wall without tearing through the bottom.
Make the Quiche Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced bacon if using, chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and finely chopped green onions.
Fill the Bagels: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the hollowed-out bagels on it. Carefully pour the quiche mixture into each bagel cavity, filling them almost to the top to avoid overflow.
Bake: Bake the filled bagels in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the egg mixture is set and the tops are slightly golden. Allow them to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set for easier slicing.

Notes

Bagel size matters: Choose large bagels to maximize filling space.
Don’t overfill: Leave a little room to avoid overflow during baking.
Bake low and slow: Baking at 350°F gently cooks the eggs, keeping them tender and creamy rather than rubbery.
Cool slightly before slicing: The quiche filling sets as it cools, making it easier to cut and serve.
