Step-by-Step Instructions for Bacon Cream Cheese Bagels
- In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and cooled, crumbled bacon. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, a few dashes of hot sauce if desired, and season with salt and pepper. Mix gently until well incorporated.
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Take your chosen bagels and carefully slice off a thin layer from the base. Hollow out the center gently.
- Evenly divide the creamy mixture into each prepared bagel, using a spatula to smooth out the tops.
- Arrange the filled bagels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then garnish with reserved crumbled bacon and chopped chives.
