Breakfast Bagel Sandwich
A delightful breakfast creation that combines warm, toasted bagels with creamy cheese, fluffy scrambled eggs, and crispy bacon, perfect for any morning.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 piece everything bagel
- 2 large eggs whisked with a pinch of salt
- 2 slices cheddar cheese or cheese of your choice
- 3 slices bacon crispy, cooked to preference
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives for garnishing
- 1 teaspoon butter optional for cooking eggs and toasting bagel
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather and prep all your ingredients. Slice the everything bagel in half, crack the eggs into a bowl, and whisk them with a pinch of salt. Chop the chives and set them aside.
- Place the bacon slices in a cold skillet. Cook them over medium heat until crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Cooking
- In a separate nonstick pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and gently stir. Cook until just set but still soft, around 3-5 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the bagel halves until golden brown. Optionally, spread a little butter on the insides for extra flavor.
Assembly
- On the bottom half of the toasted bagel, place a slice of cheddar cheese. The heat from the scrambled eggs will help melt the cheese.
- Spoon the cooked eggs onto the cheese-covered bagel half evenly.
- Layer the crispy bacon slices over the eggs, crumbling them slightly if needed.
- Sprinkle chopped chives over the bacon for added flavor and garnish.
- Top with the remaining bagel half and press down gently.
- Serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
You can customize with different meats, veggies, or cheeses. Works well for busy mornings or leisurely brunches. Wrap leftovers tightly for storage.
