Ingredients

• 4 plain bagels

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

How to Make Savory Herb-Infused Breakfast Bagels

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. While the oven is heating, prepare the bagels. Slice each bagel in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
3. Drizzle the bagel halves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and half of the chopped herbs (chives, parsley, and dill).
4. Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. While the bagels are baking, fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl.
6. Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide each egg into the center. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
7. Once the bagels are done baking, remove them from the oven. Carefully place a poached egg on top of each bagel half.
8. Finish by sprinkling the remaining herbs on top of the eggs. If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your herb-infused breakfast bagels!

Tips for the Best Results

• For crispier bagels, broil them for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking, watching closely to avoid burning.
• Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried herbs can be used in a pinch, but the taste will be different.
• If you prefer scrambled eggs, simply whisk the eggs and cook them in a non-stick skillet over low heat until fluffy.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the herbs for your favorites, such as basil or thyme.
• Add toppings like avocado slices, smoked salmon, or crumbled feta for a gourmet touch.
• For a cheesy twist, sprinkle shredded cheese on the bagels before baking.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• A simple green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
• Yogurt with honey and granola for a sweet complement.
