- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced cooked bacon, mayonnaise, sour cream, and hot sauce if desired. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.

- Bake the Bagels: Place filled bagels on a baking tray and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Let cool slightly, garnish with reserved bacon bits and chopped chives if desired. Serve warm.
