Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 bagels, halved
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Using a small knife or spoon, carefully create a wider hole in each bagel half, removing some of the inner bread to make space for the egg. Leave about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Arrange the bagel halves cut-side up on the prepared sheet pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Sprinkle diced bell peppers evenly across the bagel halves, distributing them inside the holes and around the edges.
- Crack one egg into the hole of each bagel half, being careful not to break the yolk.
- Season each egg with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over each bagel, covering the egg and surrounding areas.
- Carefully transfer the sheet pan to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow cheese to set slightly.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving hot directly from the sheet pan.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bagels: Opt for fresh, sturdy bagels that can hold the egg without falling apart. Everything bagels or plain bagels work wonderfully for this recipe.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add cooked bacon, sausage, or your favorite vegetables to make this dish uniquely yours.
- Watch the Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the eggs while they bake. If you prefer runny yolks, check them around the 10-minute mark; for firmer yolks, let them bake a bit longer.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining your sheet pan with parchment paper not only makes for easy cleanup but also helps prevent the bagels from sticking.
- Garnish for Flair: Don’t skip the green onions! They add a fresh crunch and a pop of color that makes your dish visually appealing.
- Serve Immediately: These bagel holes are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the cheese is gooey and the eggs are warm.
