Trying to look on the bright side of things, I thought this breakfast/brunch recipe fit the bill. Easy, cheesy and totally yummy. Plus bacon! ❤

Approximate total time: 30 minutes
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves 8 (normal people but only 1 hungry Wolf shifter)

Make breakfast the best time of the day when you serve these Sheet-Pan Sunny Side-Up Bagels. These Sheet-Pan Sunny Side-Up Bagels are topped with eggs, bacon, cheddar and cream cheese spread for amazing flavor.

What You Need
4 plain bagels (4 inch), split
1/2 cup PHILADELPHIA Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread
8 CRACKER BARREL Sharp Cheddar Cheese Slices
8 eggs
8 slices OSCAR MAYER Fully Cooked Bacon, cut in half
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives

Let’s Make It
1 – Heat oven to 375°F.
2 – Cover baking sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray. Use 1-1/2-inch round cookie cutter to cut piece out of center of each bagel half; discard removed piece.
3 – Spread cut sides of bagel halves with cream cheese spread; place, cream cheese sides down, on prepared baking sheet.
4 – Cut 1-1/2-inch “X” into center of each cheese slice. Place on tops of bagels; press centers of cheese slices into holes in bagels.
5 – Crack 1 egg into small bowl; slip into hole in 1 prepared bagel half. Repeat with remaining eggs and bagel halves. Top with bacon.
6 – Bake 14 to 15 min. or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to desired doneness.
7 – Sprinkle with chives. (You can use the dried variety if you don’t have fresh.)

For some reason, there’s NO nutritional info. Which is weird. But you can CLICK to see what’s on the page at My Food and Family. As y’all know, a few of my heroines are somewhat clueless when it comes to cooking. Luckily, a lot of my heroes can step up to the stove. Today, it’s Derek Alexander, Wolf shifter, Homeland Security agent, and mate to airport rescue firefighter Kit Carson. He stepped forward because some of the incidents in his and Kit’s story, CRASH & BURN: A Moonstruck Wolf Novel, are alluded to in FIGHTING FOR ELENA, my most recent release. Y’all can catch up with Derek and Kit for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription, or buy it for your keeper shelf! Just click on the cover or the title. Haven’t read FIGHTING FOR ELENA?

I love breakfast/brunch and even breakfast-for-dinner. This recipe hits all the spots. What about y’all? Breakfast or dinner?
