My boys love, love, love these guys. Bacon is their first choice in this recipe, but I've used cooked sausage, Canadian bacon, leftover ham, and leftover roast in it's place many times - all good!
8 slices
bacon
8
hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped, (I love to hard-cook my eggs in the oven!)
1 1/2 cups
shredded Colby-Jack cheese
2/3 cup
mayonnaise
1/3 cup
plain Greek yogurt
1/4 tsp.
red pepper flakes
1 Tbs.
spicy brown mustard
1 tsp.
grated horseradish
1 clove
garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire
sauce
6 whole
wheat or whole grain mini bagels, split (may substitute English muffins, if
desired)
Cook bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in the oven until browned and slightly crispy; remove from baking sheet to a paper-towel-lined
plate to cool slightly. Chop bacon into
bite-size pieces and place in a large mixing bowl; add chopped eggs, cheese,
mayo, yogurt, mustard, horseradish, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce; gently
fold all ingredients together, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

Preheat
oven broiler to low and rack in LOWEST position of the oven. Meanwhile, place bagel halves onto a baking
sheet, dividing prepared egg/bacon mixture evenly, using a 1/3 cup disher (a
large scoop) to place mixture onto each bagel half. (Use your fingertips to compact mixture slightly
and to secure filling on top of each bagel half.) Place baking sheet onto prepared oven rack
under broiler and broil them for 3-4 minutes, taking care not to burn them,
just until filling is hot throughout and cheese is slightly melted.
