Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 plain or everything bagels

Bacon

  • 8 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and chopped

Cheese Mixture

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives or green onions
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon: Cook the bacon over medium heat until it’s crisp. Drain on paper towels and let cool. Once cooled, chop into small, bite-sized pieces to distribute evenly.
  2. Mix the Creamy Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  3. Assemble the Bagels: Slice each bagel horizontally in half. Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture onto each cut side, then sprinkle the crispy bacon pieces evenly over the top.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the bagel halves on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and showing golden spots.
  5. Add Finishing Touches and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with extra fresh chives or green onions, and serve warm for the best melty, savory experience.

Notes

  • Use day-old bagels for better absorption of the cheese mixture without sogginess.
  • Ensure bacon is thoroughly crisp for an ideal texture contrast.
  • Balance cream cheese and bacon amounts to avoid messiness when assembling.
  • Combine sharp and mild cheeses if desired for richer flavor complexity.
  • Watch bake time carefully to prevent burning while ensuring fully melted cheese.
