Bagel Quiches–a new look for bagels…and quiches!
If you’re bored with the same-old, same-old for breakfast, give this a shot. You can make all the bagels the exact same, or allow people to customize their own bagel quiche to their liking. And it doesn’t have to just be for breakfast. Could be a fun dinner idea! Make up a topping bar and let your feasters make their own.
The variations are pretty much endless. I mean, just think of all the ingredients and combinations.
- meats: ham, bacon, sausage,
- veggies: spinach, asparagus, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, leeks, zucchini, artichokes, shallots, broccoli, green onions, bell peppers
- cheeses: goat cheese, cheddar, gouda, swiss, parmesan, mozzarella, Gruyere, feta
- herbs: basil, chives, parsley, dill, rosemary, thyme
Try some different combinations of flavors! I think a Caprese combo would be great, and it’s next on my list to try: basil, tomato dices, and mozzarella! Maybe even a pizza version? Keep in mind, too, that this can be a good way to use up leftover veggies from previous meals.
To make prep even easier, you can try using freeze dried topping ingredients. We often use Thrive Life ingredients in our home to cut down on prep time. But fresh is also great. It’s best to find bagels that are NOT already sliced because pre-sliced are usually not sliced evenly. But you can make do.
If you like to have a little sweet component to your breakfast, try having these muffins with your Bagel Quiches.

Description
Bagel Quiches–a new look for bagels…and quiches!
Ingredients
- 1 bagel, sliced in half
- 2 eggs
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp. diced red bell peppers
- 2 tbsp. diced mushrooms
- 2 tbsp. shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Prep and chop topping ingredients and set aside.
Cut a trench into each bagel half by cutting about 1/4″ away from the outside edge and the inside hole. Use your fingers to carefully remove the bagel bread from between the cuts, be careful not to tear all the way through the bottom.
Cradle each bagel half in foil and place on a baking sheet.
Whisk the eggs in a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Add in the salt and pepper while whisking. Pour enough of the egg into each bagel half to cover the bottom of the trench.
Using your fingers, sprinkle the chopped topping ingredients over the egg in your bagel halves. Add more whisked egg over top but do not overfill the bagel (just fill to the top).
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until egg is set (25 minutes in my oven at home). Serve!
