Quiche Stuffed Bagels
A delightful fusion of a classic bagel and a savory quiche, these stuffed bagels are filled with a creamy egg mixture, crispy bacon, and melted cheese, offering a portable and satisfying breakfast option.
Ingredients
- 4 plain bagels
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 4 strips cooked bacon chopped
- 1.4 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ small red onion diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives for garnish
- Optional: Ketchup or sriracha for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Bagels: Slice a thin sliver off the top of each bagel. Using a knife, carefully run it around the inside edge of the bagel, then gently press the inner bread toward the edges to create a well for the filling.
- Don't Go Bacon My Heart
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Add the chopped bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Fill Bagels: Spoon the egg mixture into the prepared bagels, filling them generously.
- Bake: Place the filled bagels on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the bagels are toasted and the egg mixture is set.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chives and serve with ketchup or sriracha if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the filling by adding ingredients like sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- These stuffed bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
