BAGELS CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the bacon and onion in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, and set aside. Slice each bagel into 4 thin slices.
• Arrange 6 bagel slices in the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with the bacon and onion mixture, followed by the Cheddar cheese. Top with remaining bagel slices.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, parsley, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the bagel layers. Cover, and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Uncover the chilled bagel dish, and bake in the preheated oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until eggs are firm. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Combine water, cheese, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast in the bread machine. I let the cheese kind of melt into the water for a minute before adding the remaining ingredients. Use the dough setting on your bread machine. If you machine doesn't have a dough setting stop it after the second kneading.
• Remove the dough after it has finished rising in the bread machine and divide into 12 equal pieces.
• Roll each piece into a ball.
• Using fingers, poke a hole in the middle and form into a bagel shape.
• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Let rise under a wet tea towel or paper towels for 30 more minutes.
• While bagels are rising, start boiling a large pot of water with 3 TBS of sugar.
• After bagels have risen boil each side for 30 seconds, place on dry paper towels to dry before transferring to cornmeal dusted pan. (I divide them between 2 jellyroll pans).
• Use a pastry brush to brush the egg whites on top of the bagels.
• You can sprinkle extra cheese on top of bagels for a caramelized cheese crunch.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes. Turning the pans halfway for even baking.
• Cool for 5 minutes on wire rack and enjoy!
