Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and diced bacon. Add mayonnaise and sour cream, then mix until smooth. Optionally, add hot sauce for heat.
  2. Slice a thin layer off the bottom of each bagel to create a flat base. Hollow out the center, being careful not to cut through completely.
  3. Fill the hollowed bagels with the cream cheese mixture, spreading it evenly. Garnish with reserved bacon crumbs if desired.
  4. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the filled bagels cut-side up. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally garnished with extra chives.
