Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 plain bagels, split
  • 2 tbsp butter, divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Onions, chopped
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Cooked mushrooms
  • Gruyere cheese
  • Sausage
  • Chopped artichoke hearts
  • Provolone cheese
  • Tomato sauce
  • Pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the bagels evenly.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Arrange Bagels: Place the split bagel halves cut side up in a single layer on the parchment-lined sheet pan.
  4. Butter Bagels: Spread butter evenly over each bagel half to add flavor and help crisp the edges as they bake.
  5. Add Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into the hole in the center of each bagel half, ensuring the yolk stays intact.
  6. Top Bagels: Evenly distribute two tablespoons of thawed spinach, two tablespoons of cooked, crumbled bacon, and a quarter cup of shredded mozzarella cheese onto each bagel half around the egg.
  7. Season: Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste over each prepared bagel to enhance the flavors.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the egg yolks are cooked through to your preferred doneness and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • You can customize your breakfast bagels with various toppings like ham, vegetables, different cheeses, sausage, or tomato sauce for a pizza-inspired flavor.
  • Ensure the spinach is well-drained after thawing to prevent soggy bagels.
  • Cook the bacon ahead of time thoroughly and crumble it for easy topping application.
  • If preferred, broil for the last 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese slightly but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute with gluten-free bagels.
