Ingredients
Scale
Bagels
- 4 large bagels
Quiche Filling
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, spinach, etc.)
- ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or your choice), for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the stuffed bagels.
- Prepare the Bagels: Slice each bagel in half horizontally and carefully scoop out some dough from the center to create a cavity for the quiche filling.
- Whisk the Eggs and Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs and 1 cup heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Cheese and Vegetables: Fold in the shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and cooked meat if using. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill the Bagels: Spoon the quiche filling evenly into each bagel half, filling generously to the cavity.
- Bake: Place the stuffed bagels on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the tops turn golden brown.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove from the oven, allow the bagels to cool slightly, then garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy your quiche stuffed bagels warm for the best texture and taste experience.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetables and cheese according to your preference or what you have available.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon or sausage.
- Ensure the bagels are hollowed enough to hold a generous amount of filling without spilling.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before eating to avoid burning your mouth from the hot filling.
- Leftover stuffed bagels can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best results.
