Carefully crack an egg into the center of each bagel hole.

Step 5

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the bagels, and lightly season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped chives, and serve warm.
