Step-by-step recipe directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean up.
Split the mini bagels in half. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Add the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. Beat well.
Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter and once melted, add the eggs and lightly scramble.
Leave them slightly undercooked so they will spread onto the bagel easier. They will continue to cook in the oven.
Spread the scrambled egg over the bagel halves.
Top the eggs with chopped ham.
Top the ham and egg bagels with the shredded cheese.
Bake the cheesy breakfast bagels for 5 to 8 minutes until the cheese melts. Let cool slightly and serve.
Or, place the bagels in an air tight container and store for a day or two in the refrigerator, or freeze for later use.
When reheating the breakfast bagels in the microwave, do it in 20 second increments since all ovens vary. Be careful about over heating.

Mom tip
We like to use the thick cut ham steaks available in most grocery stores. They cube up nicely, and are already cooked. They are great for this recipe or to top a baked potato or salad. You can also use ham lunchmeat in this recipe.
