Ingredients
  

Bagel Base

  • 4 pieces bagels Use plain or everything bagels.

Creamy Filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese Full fat is preferable for best mouthfeel.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Freshly shredded melts better than pre-shredded.
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled Turkey bacon can be used for a lighter option.
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped Can substitute with dried chives or sweet onion.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust to preference.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Slice the bagels in half and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Spread the cheesy bacon mixture generously on each bagel half.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and edges are golden brown.
  • Serve warm, optionally with a squeeze of fresh lemon or a sprinkle of extra green onion.

Notes

For extra crisp, broil the bagels for 30 to 60 seconds at the end. If planning to make ahead, assemble and cover tightly before baking when ready.
