Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using the biscuit cutter, cut out the center holes of each bagel, aiming for a diameter of about 3 inches.
Melt some butter and brush it generously over the cut sides of each bagel half.
Fill the bagels by placing a slice of cheese into each hole, followed by a slice of prosciutto.
Gently crack an egg into the center of each bagel hole.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs and then place the baking sheet in the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from oven, cool for a minute, and garnish with chives before serving.
