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 Garnish

Chives, chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the stuffed bagels.
Prepare the 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.
Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
Add the mix-ins: Stir in the chopped cooked bacon, sautéed spinach or bell peppers, and shredded cheddar cheese to incorporate flavors into the filling.
Fill the bagels: Spoon the quiche mixture evenly into the cavity of each prepared bagel, ensuring the filling is well distributed.
Arrange for baking: Place the stuffed bagels on a lined baking sheet to catch any drips and make cleanup easier.
Bake: Bake the bagels for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the egg filling is set firmly and the top turns a light golden color.
Cool and serve: Let the stuffed bagels cool slightly for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped chives if desired before serving warm.

Notes

You can customize the vegetables in the filling with your favorite sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, onions, or tomatoes.
For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add extra vegetables or cheese.
Use whole wheat bagels for added fiber and a nuttier flavor.
Cook bacon ahead of time and drain well to avoid excess grease in the filling.
Garnishing with fresh herbs like chives adds a bright flavor and appealing presentation.
