Ingredients

Scale

Bagel Base

  • 2 plain or everything bagels

Bacon & Cheese

  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Cook the bacon until crisp, then crumble into small pieces. Grate the sharp cheddar cheese and finely chop the green onions. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature to soften for easy spreading.
  2. Slice and Toast the Bagels: Slice the bagels in half horizontally. Lightly toast them to create a warm and sturdy base that prevents sogginess.
  3. Mix the Creamy Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and half of the crumbled bacon. Stir well until all flavors and textures are evenly blended.
  4. Assemble the Bagels: Spread the creamy mixture generously over the toasted bagel halves. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, then add the remaining crispy bacon pieces for extra texture.
  5. Melt and Serve: Place the assembled bagels under a broiler or in a hot oven for a short time to melt the cheddar and warm everything through. Serve immediately for the best taste.

Notes

  • Use day-old bagels for better toasting and to hold fillings sturdily.
  • Do not overcook bacon; it should be crisp yet tender.
  • Soften cream cheese beforehand for smooth spreading.
  • Watch the broiler closely as cheese melts quickly and can burn easily.
  • Bagels can be assembled ahead and refrigerated uncovered, then broiled fresh before serving.
