Method

Preparation Steps

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced cooked bacon, mayonnaise, sour cream, and hot sauce. Mix until smooth for about 3-5 minutes.
Slice a thin layer off the base of each bagel and hollow out the centers to create a well for the filling.
Scoop the cream cheese mixture into each hollowed bagel half, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Arrange the filled bagel halves on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Let the bagels cool for a few minutes, then garnish with reserved bacon bits and chopped chives before serving.
