Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut through the center of each bagel horizontally, creating a pocket while keeping the sides attached.
- Gently scoop out the soft interior of each bagel half with a small spoon or scoop, leaving a sturdy shell for the filling.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, chopped green onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, distributing evenly for a cheesy filling.
- Pour the egg mixture into each hollowed-out bagel shell, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Arrange the filled bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is puffed and just set, and the bagels are lightly toasted.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. The bagels should be crispy on the outside with a creamy, cheesy egg center inside.
In the end, these Quiche Stuffed Bagels aren’t just a recipe—they’re a little rebellion against boring mornings. They combine familiarity with a playful edge, making every breakfast feel a bit more special. Whether it’s a weekend treat or a weekday rescue, they bring warmth and excitement in every bite.
