Ingredients- 2 Bagels
- 4 slices Sandwich ham
- 2 slices Cheese
- Cream cheese, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your bagels, the kind you stock up on from Costco. To store them for longer, slice them in half and place them in a zip-top bag before freezing. They will thaw quickly at room temperature.
Step 2
Individually wrapped cream cheese portions are hygienic, but can be a bit tricky to measure. Have your cream cheese ready to spread.
Step 3
Generously spread the cream cheese on the cut side of the naturally thawed bagel halves. Cream cheese adds a smooth texture and enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
Step 4
Layer two slices of sandwich ham on top of the cream cheese. You can choose your favorite type of ham, such as smoked or roasted, depending on your preference.
Step 5
Place a slice of cheese on top of the ham. As the cheese melts, it will help bind the ham and bagel together.
Step 6
Arrange the assembled bagels on an oven tray or baking sheet. You can bake the top half of the bagel separately or place it on top like a traditional sandwich, ensuring the cheese doesn’t ooze out excessively.
Step 7
Place the bagels in a preheated oven at approximately 90°C (194°F) for about 10 minutes. This gentle baking will melt the cheese beautifully and make the bagel slightly crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside, resulting in a delicious ham and cheese bagel sandwich. Adjust the time and temperature according to your oven’s specifications.
