Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add olive oil to the skillet, then place the bacon slices in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the bacon is cooking, slice each gluten-free bagel in half and lightly toast them in a toaster or under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
Spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese on each toasted bagel half.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the cream cheese for extra flavor.
Cut or crumble the cooked bacon into smaller pieces and evenly distribute the pieces over the cream cheese layer on each bagel half.
Sprinkle freshly chopped chives on top of each bagel half for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately, enjoying the balance of creamy, crispy, and savory in every bite.
