Ingredients

Scale

Bagels

  • 4 fresh plain or flavored bagels

Cream Cheese or Soft Cheese

  • 4 oz cream cheese or other soft cheese (mozzarella, feta, goat cheese optional)

Fresh Vegetables

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced

Proteins

  • 4 large eggs, scrambled (optional)
  • 4 slices crispy bacon or smoked salmon (optional)

Herbs and Spices

  • 2 tbsp fresh dill or chives, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Bagels: Slice your bagels horizontally, then carefully hollow out a portion of the inside to create space for your fillings, making sure not to break the structure.
  2. Prepare the Fillings: Cook any warm ingredients like scrambled eggs or bacon and chop fresh veggies and herbs. Mix softer ingredients like cream cheese with herbs to spread easily inside the bagels.
  3. Assemble the Stuffed Bagels: Layer the fillings generously inside the hollowed bagels. Begin with a base of cream cheese or spread, then add proteins, veggies, and seasoning.
  4. Bake or Toast (Optional): Place the stuffed bagels on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy on the outside, or toast them in a sandwich press for a warm, melty finish.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, slice your stuffed bagels in half if desired and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Choose fresh bagels for best flavor and to hold the fillings well.
  • Don’t overstuff the bagels to prevent fillings from spilling out during cooking.
  • Use cream cheese inside the cavity to help keep other ingredients in place.
  • Pre-cook proteins and vegetables to enhance flavor and ensure food safety.
  • Experiment with different cheeses such as mozzarella, feta, or goat cheese for unique taste profiles.
