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: chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready 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, making space for the quiche filling inside.
  3. Mix Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Add Fillings: Stir in the cooked chopped bacon, sautéed spinach or bell peppers, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  5. Fill Bagels: Spoon the prepared quiche filling evenly into each bagel cavity, filling them generously but avoiding overflow.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the stuffed bagels on a lined baking sheet to catch any drips and for easy transfer to the oven.
  7. Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the quiche filling is set, slightly golden on top, and cooked through to a firm texture.
  8. Serve: Allow the stuffed bagels to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives if desired for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • You can customize the vegetables to your preference, such as using mushrooms, tomatoes, or zucchini instead of spinach or bell peppers.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon or substitute with a plant-based bacon alternative.
  • Use low-fat cream or milk to reduce calories if preferred, but results may be less creamy.
  • Ensure bagels are sturdy enough to hold the filling without becoming soggy; toasting beforehand can help.
