Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 package Refrigerated Pizza Dough (can also use homemade versions)
Filling
- 8 whole Eggs (can swap with egg whites for a lighter option)
- 1 cup Diced Ham (try turkey or chicken for a leaner alternative)
- 1 cup Shredded Allegro Cheese (any melting cheese like cheddar or mozzarella works)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
Boiling Water
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional but adds a nice touch)
Topping
- to taste Bagel Seasoning (make your own mix with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and garlic powder)
Instructions
- Prepare dough: Thaw your refrigerated pizza dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise for 20 minutes to achieve a fluffy texture.
- Make scrambled eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently scramble them in a pan over medium heat until fluffy, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Boil water with honey: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a splash of honey to enhance the rise and flavor of the bagel bombs.
- Fill and seal dough: Flatten each dough ball into a circle. Spoon in scrambled eggs, diced ham, and shredded cheese into the center, then carefully fold and seal the edges to enclose the filling.
- Boil bagel bombs: Drop each stuffed bagel bomb into the boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and allow to drain briefly.
- Bake: Place the boiled bagel bombs on a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with your favorite bagel seasoning blend. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and store: Let the bagel bombs cool completely. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap or place them in freezer-safe bags for freezing and future enjoyment.
Notes
- Use turkey or chicken instead of ham for a leaner version.
- Swap whole eggs for egg whites to reduce fat and calories.
- The honey in the boiling water helps the bagel bombs rise and adds subtle sweetness.
- To make your own bagel seasoning, mix poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and garlic powder.
- These bagel bombs freeze well and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
