Pour the cream into the pan while stirring. Reduce to medium heat and simmer, covered, 10 minutes.

Cut 4 large rectangles in plastic wrap. Place a quarter of the herbs in the center of each rectangle. Salt and pepper. Gently break an egg in the center of a rectangle, on the herbs. Gather the corners of the rectangle over the egg and tie a knot. Repeat with the other three eggs.

Preheat the oven to broil. Cut the bagels in half, place on a baking sheet and grill. Turn off the oven, remove the bagels and garnish with smoked salmon and cheese. Put the bagels in the oven to keep them warm while cooking the eggs.

In a saucepan, bring 6 cups (1.5 L) of water to the boiling point, then lower the heat and let simmer. Place the plastic bags containing the eggs in the water and cook for about 4 minutes. Remove from the pan with a spoon to drain.

Remove the bagel halves from the oven and place each on a plate. Top with sauce. Delicately undo the bags and garnish each half bagel with an egg. Garnish with fried green leeks, if desired. Serve immediately.
