Instructions

Prepare Dough: Thaw refrigerated pizza dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, cover with kitchen towel, and let rise for 20 minutes to develop a fluffy texture.
Scramble Eggs: Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently scramble in a pan over medium heat until fluffy. Set aside to cool slightly.
Boil Water: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add honey for extra rise and flavor.
Fill Dough: Flatten each dough ball into a circle. Spoon a portion of scrambled eggs, diced ham, and shredded cheese into the center. Carefully fold and seal the edges to enclose the filling completely.
Boil Bagel Bombs: Drop each filled bagel bomb into boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove using a slotted spoon and allow them to drain.
Bake: Place bagel bombs on a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle bagel seasoning on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and Store: Let the bagel bombs cool completely. Wrap individually in plastic wrap or place in a freezer-safe bag for freezing.

Notes

Use egg whites instead of whole eggs for a lighter, lower-fat option.
You can substitute diced turkey or chicken for ham to make it leaner.
Make your own bagel seasoning by mixing poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and garlic powder if unavailable pre-made.
Boiling the dough before baking gives the bagel bomb a chewy, authentic bagel crust.
Wrap cooled bagel bombs tightly for freezer storage and reheat them by baking or microwaving.
