Ingredients
Scale
Bagels
- 4 plain or everything bagels
Quiche Filling
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyere)
- 1 cup cooked vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon or ham (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh herbs (thyme or chives), chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Bagels: Slice the bagels horizontally and carefully hollow out a small well in the center of each half to create a nest for the quiche filling.
- Make the Quiche Filling: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and herbs. Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked vegetables, and cooked bacon or ham if using, to form a smooth custard mixture.
- Stuff the Bagels: Generously spoon the quiche mixture into the hollowed centers of each bagel half, spreading evenly but leaving a little room to prevent overflowing.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the stuffed bagels on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, until the filling is set and the bagel edges turn golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Savory Quiche Stuffed Bagels to cool slightly to let the filling firm up before serving for the perfect texture and bite.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs and vegetables for best flavor and texture.
- Pre-cook vegetables lightly to reduce moisture and avoid soggy filling.
- Don’t overfill the bagels to keep the filling contained during baking.
- Choose dense bagels such as plain or everything to hold up well during baking.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 375°F (190°C) for even baking.
