4 Large Eggs
4 ounces Cheddar Cheese
Salted Butter, as needed
Optional: milk, cream cheese, or cottage cheese (small amount to scramble eggs)

Bakery

4 Mini Bagels

Meat

4 Rashers Bacon

Instructions

Cook the Bacon and Scramble the Eggs: Start by cooking the 4 bacon rashers in a skillet until they are crispy. In a separate bowl, beat the 4 large eggs with a splash of milk, cream cheese, or cottage cheese if desired for creaminess. Scramble the eggs gently in a skillet with a little salted butter until soft and fluffy.
Prepare the Bacon: Once the bacon is cooked and crispy, drain it on paper towels to remove excess fat. Then roughly chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Toast and Butter Bagels: Toast the 4 mini bagels until golden and warm. Spread each toasted bagel generously with salted butter while still hot.
Assemble the Bagel Bites: Layer the scrambled eggs evenly on top of each buttered mini bagel. Then add the 4 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs, followed by the chopped bacon pieces.
Broil to Finish: Place the assembled bagel bites under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes, just long enough to melt the cheddar cheese and rewarm the eggs. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Once cheese is melted and bubbling, remove and serve immediately.

Notes

Adding a little milk, cream cheese, or cottage cheese to the eggs makes them creamier and more flavorful.
Use mini bagels for perfectly sized bite portions, but regular bagels cut in halves or quarters can also work.
Keep a close eye during broiling to prevent the cheese from burning.
Substitute cheddar with any other favorite cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor.
Can be prepared ahead by cooking bacon and eggs in advance, then assembling and broiling just before serving.
