Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 mini bagels, sliced in half
- 6 large eggs
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and halved
- 12 slices cheddar cheese
Dairy and Spread Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- 4 ounces (115 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter, for greasing
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons butter
Seasoning and Flavor Ingredients:
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Initiate by warming the oven to a moderate temperature of 375F (190C), preparing a generously buttered 9×13-inch baking vessel to cradle the upcoming culinary creation.
- Craft the egg foundation by whisking together eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper. Gently cook the mixture in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, creating soft, pillowy scrambled eggs. Transfer immediately once they reach a delicate, barely set consistency.
- Develop a luxurious spread by blending cream cheese with tangy Dijon mustard, sweet honey, and aromatic garlic powder until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Construct the sliders by lavishly coating the interior of each bagel bottom with the prepared cream cheese mixture. Carefully arrange the bagel bases in the prepared baking dish, then meticulously layer with scrambled eggs, crisp bacon halves, and a single slice of sharp cheddar cheese. Crown each slider with its corresponding bagel top.
- Enhance the sliders by generously brushing the bagel surfaces with melted butter, then adorning with everything bagel seasoning and optional sesame seeds. Drape the dish with protective foil, allowing the sliders to bake for 10 minutes. Unveil the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the tops acquire a golden, appetizing hue.
- Allow the sliders a brief moment to settle and cool, ensuring the flavors meld and the temperature becomes enjoyable. Serve these delectable breakfast creations while still warm, promising a delightful morning feast.
Notes
- Customize eggs by using egg whites or a vegan egg substitute for a lighter, healthier option.
- Swap bacon with turkey bacon, plant-based bacon, or omit for vegetarian sliders that still pack incredible flavor.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack, gouda, or dairy-free alternatives to match personal taste preferences.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to create a quick, stress-free breakfast that can be assembled rapidly on busy mornings.
