CHEDDAR BAKED BAGELS AND EGGS

Steps:

• Butter the cut sides of bagels, and enlarge holes to 1 inch in diameter.
• Working in batches, place bagel halves buttered side down in heavy fry pan over medium high heat.
• Cook for about 2 minutes or until golden on bottom.
• Transfer all bagel halves, cut side down to rimmed baking sheet.
• Break an egg into center of each bagel half and sprinkle with equal amounts of salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle cheese over eggs.
• Bake in 400F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until eggs are set but yolks are still soft.

CHEDDAR BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large saute pan over low heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, taking care not to brown the flour. Slowly add hot milk, using a wire whisk to stir. Cook the roux into the milk over low simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until mixture has thickened. Add the salt, pepper and cayenne. Stir in the cheese and the green onions. Remove from the heat when the cheese has fully melted.
• Using a large baking dish or individual ramekins, pour the hot sauce into the dish(es). Break the eggs, one at a time, into a small, shallow fruit dish and slide them, one at a time, into the sauce. Place in the oven and bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until the whites and yolks have begun to set. Serve immediately.

BAKED BAGEL EGG-IN-THE-HOLE

Steps:

• For the baked bagel egg-in-the-hole: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the parchment with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.
• Using a 2-inch round cutter, make the center of each bagel half larger. Save the cutout pieces. Brush the cut side of the bagels and bagel cutouts with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.
• Place the bagels cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Line up the cutout pieces down the center of the baking sheet cut-side down as well. Using the palm of your hand, press the bagels into the baking sheet. This will help make sure they are touching the baking sheet so the eggs won't seep out before they're cooked.
• Brush the tops of the bagels and cutouts with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Crack an egg into each bagel hole. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs; 11 minutes will give you a runny yolk, while 14 minutes will give you a fully cooked yolk.
• For the hollandaise: In a small saucepan, melt the butter until sizzling.
• Put the egg yolks in a blender and turn on a low speed to allow them to combine. While the machine is running, slowly begin pouring the hot butter into the blender in a thin, steady stream. Once all the butter is in, immediately begin adding the lemon juice.
• Check the blender to make sure the sauce is still liquidy and moving easily through the blades. If not, add a little more juice and give it a stir and then blend again. Add the cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a serving pitcher and cover with foil until serving.
• For the garnish: Transfer the bagels and cutouts to a serving platter. Arrange the salmon around the bagels and garnish with the red onions, chives and capers. Serve with the warm hollandaise on the side.
