Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces plain bagels
- 4 strips bacon
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for the bacon or prepare a skillet on medium-high heat.
Lay the bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or cook them in a skillet. If using the oven, bake for 10-12 minutes or until crispy. If using a skillet, cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
While the bacon is cooking, slice each bagel in half horizontally.
Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the cut sides of the bagel halves with melted butter.
Toast the bagel halves in a toaster or on a grill pan until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on each toasted bagel half.
Once the bacon has cooled slightly, place two strips on the bottom half of each bagel.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a crack of black pepper over the bacon for extra flavor.
Top with the remaining bagel halves. Serve immediately while the bagel is still warm and the bacon is crispy.
Enjoy your homemade bagel with crispy bacon and cream cheese!
