Notes
- Use any type of bagel you prefer, but plain or savory varieties work best to balance the flavors.
- Substitute milk with cream for a richer filling.
- Ham can be swapped with cooked bacon, sausage, or a vegetarian option if desired.
- Cheese choices like cheddar or Swiss add great flavor, but feel free to experiment with others like mozzarella or Gruyere.
- Ensure the bags are not overfilled to prevent spillage during baking.
- For added veggies, consider adding diced bell peppers or spinach to the filling.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor; leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
