How to Make Bagel Quiche
This bagel hame and cheese quiche falls under the category of a fun recipe that is delicious and perfect for a make ahead breakfast! I’m going to say this once–. don’t be afraid of bagels. Bagels can easily be a part of a healthy diet. Just don’t go eating a bagel a day. Do you feel me? We love this spin on a classic quiche recipe because it is easy, fun, and you can use your favorite bagel rather than whipping up a quiche crust. Let’s get down to business and chat everything bagel quiche.
Step 1- Choose Ingredients
We decided on a classic ham and cheese quiche theme. Feel free to fill your bagel with your favorite vegetables and your favorite cheese. To make this bagel ham and cheese quiche recipe you will need the ingredients below.

Step 2-Prepare Bagel
This is my favorite part of this recipe. I am seriously obsessed with the bagels from the St. Paul Bagelery. I know that not everybody has access to St. Paul Minnesota brands, so Dave’s Killer Bread Bagels are a close second! When choosing the perfect bagel for this bagel ham and cheese quiche, make sure you choose a thick bagel. You want to be sure that the bagel is thick enough to create a boat for all of the quiche ingredients. Cut the bagel perfectly in half and dig out the breaded soft middle of the bagel. Be careful not to create holes in the outer crust of the bagel! Once each bagel half has been hallowed out, place them on a greased baking sheet. What do I do with the leftover bread from the bagel? If you don’t want to waste the innards of the bagel you have a couple of fun options! You can make them into bread crumbs or you can use them as the bread in a french toast bake!
Step 3- Assemble Bagel Quiche
After placing the bagel half on a greased baking sheet, add two tablespoons of diced ham and 1 tablespoon of minced onion to each bagel half. Then, whisk the eggs and almond milk together in a small container with a lip to make pouring the egg mixture into the bagel easier. Pour egg mixture into each bagel half. Start by filling each bagel halfway full. Only fill it halfway the first time around to allow the egg mixture to soak into the bagel. Let the bagels sit for a couple of minutes and then evenly distribute the rest of the egg mixture into each bagel. After bagels are full of ham, onion, and egg mixture, sprinkle with cheese or a couple of small dollops of cream cheese.
Step 4- Bake DAT Quiche
Place bagel ham and cheese quiche in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes! The egg mixture will puff up in the oven, but deflate when you remove it from the oven.
