Here’s something you probably don’t know about me > I worked at a Jewish Elementary School for many years- as a teacher’s aide, as their after-school daycare program director and finally as a substitute teacher. I ate a lot of challah and a lot of bagels during my years at the school. We ordered lunch regularly from a local bagel deli, and I often got some awesome bagel creations. My favorite was a bagel smeared with plenty of full-fat cream cheese and then melted cheddar cheese on top. Crazy calories, right?? Yeah, that was back in the days where I didn’t have to worry about calories as much!! There were some great egg-bagel items on the menu too. But for some reason, I’ve always had this Bagel Quiche idea in my head. Why not hollow out a bagel and make a quiche inside of it?? So that’s what I did.
On with the featured recipe!
Here’s how you make a Bagel Quiche:
You’ll need these ingredients- a bagel, 2 or 3 eggs (depending on the size of your bagel) and desired quiche fillings. I used cheese, mushroom, red bell pepper and broccoli.
First: Hollow out your bagel. That may seem strange, but people order their bagels “skinny” all the time at bagel shops around the world. You get the benefit of eating a fabulous bagel without all of the extra bread.
Whisk your eggs and pour them into your hollowed out bagel.
Sprinkle your desired fillings (all optional) inside the egg. Add another whisked egg on top if your bagel isn’t quite full enough. Bake until the egg is set, and you’ve got yourself a bagel quiche! I’m glad I finally acted on the “Quiche inside a Bagel” idea in my head. It’s now one of my new, favorite breakfasts… especially on a day where I want something substantial, but healthy before I hit the slopes. Enjoy!
