Tips & Variations

  • Use different cheeses like mozzarella or gruyère for varied flavor.
  • Replace bacon with cooked sausage or omit for a vegetarian option.
  • Try adding diced tomatoes or mushrooms to the filling for extra texture.
  • Pressing down the bagel centers instead of slicing can help avoid crumbs in the filling.

Storage

Store leftover stuffed bagels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warm, or microwave on medium power for 30–45 seconds for a quicker option.
