Ingredients
  

For the Bagels
  • 4 pieces Bagels Opt for fresh varieties like sesame or everything for best flavor.
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Use full-fat for a richer taste or reduced-fat for a lighter version.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Adds gooey texture; substitute with Monterey Jack for a different twist.
  • 6 slices Cooked Bacon Make sure it’s cooled completely to avoid melting the cream cheese.
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise Enhances creaminess; feel free to omit for a lighter version.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Provides tang; Greek yogurt can be a healthy alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce Optional for a spicy kick, adjust according to preference.
  • 2 tablespoons Chives For garnish, adds a fresh touch and vibrant color when served.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked and cooled bacon, mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Slice off a wafer-thin piece from the bottom of each bagel and hollow out the center.
  3. Spoon the cream cheese filling into each hollowed bagel, pressing down slightly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Arrange the stuffed bagels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and garnish with reserved bacon bits and chopped chives. Serve immediately.
