How To Make Breakfast Bagel Sliders
Step One: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and spray a non stick baking dish with cooking spray.
Step Two: Place the bottom of each bagel flat across your baking dish in a single layer, being careful not to overlap the bagels. Top each of the bagel bottoms with a layer of egg, cheese, and bacon.
Step Three: Add the bagel tops on each slider.
Step Four: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use a silicone brush to spread the melted butter mixture across each bagel.
Step Five: Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the tops are slightly crispy and the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
Tips And Tricks
- These Breakfast Bagel Sliders are best served warm. You can reheat them by putting them in the oven at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, or you can reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments until it has reheated to your desired temperature.
- This recipe is a great meal prep option for breakfast! Make them on a Sunday, freeze/refrigerate them throughout the week, and reheat them when you’re ready to enjoy them. We recommend wrapping any leftovers individually in foil before storing them.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
