Bagel Quiche Bites

This dish combines the hearty crust of a bagel with a creamy, egg-based quiche filling loaded with vegetables and cheese. The ingredients are assembled and baked until the edges are crispy and golden, with a soft, custardy interior and gooey cheese pull. The result is a messy, satisfying brunch treat with a rustic appearance and rich flavor.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces bagels sliced in half
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or a blend
  • 1 cup chopped vegetables spinach, peppers, or your choice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking Dish
  • Whisk
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Slice the bagels in half horizontally and lay the cut sides facing up in the baking dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and slightly frothy, which will give a light custard texture.
  4. Add the shredded cheese, chopped vegetables, salt, and pepper to the egg mixture, folding gently to combine.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bagel halves, making sure each half is well coated and starts to soak up the custard.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the soaked bagels for extra flavor and crispness.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the edges of the bagels are golden brown and the filling is set and bubbling.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. The filling should be firm with gooey cheese and crusty edges.
  9. Cut into irregular, messy pieces that show the crispy edges and soft interior, then serve warm.
