Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth. Add hot sauce to taste, if desired. Set aside for 15–30 minutes.
  2. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each bagel to create a stable base. Hollow out the center with a spoon, being careful not to slice through the sides.
  3. Scoop the cream cheese mixture into each hollowed bagel, ensuring the filling is level with the top.
  4. Place the filled bagels onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spaced apart slightly.
  5. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake for 12–15 minutes until the filling bubbles and the tops are golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with reserved bacon bits and freshly chopped chives.
