Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to cook the bacon.
Arrange the low-sodium bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oven and place on a paper towel to drain any excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, slice each low sodium bagel in half and lightly toast them using a toaster or under a broiler until they are gently browned and crunchy.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on each toasted bagel half while still warm to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
Once the bacon is cooled down slightly and is crispy, break each slice in half and place two halves of bacon on each bagel half, over the cream cheese.
Sprinkle chopped chives evenly over the bacon-topped bagels and add a dash of black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your low-sodium bagel with crispy bacon and cream cheese fresh and warm.
