Ingredients
Scale
Bagel Sandwich
- 1 bagel, sliced and toasted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Toast the bagel: Slice the bagel into two halves and toast them until they are golden brown and crisp, providing a crunchy base for the sandwich.
- Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, then remove them and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper to taste, and whisk until well combined for a smooth mixture.
- Soft scramble the eggs: Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat, pour in the eggs, and gently stir continuously until the eggs are soft and slightly runny.
- Melt the cheese: Place the slices of cheddar cheese over the scrambled eggs and cover the pan briefly to allow the cheese to melt perfectly into the eggs.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the cheesy scrambled eggs on the bottom toasted bagel half.
- Add bacon and chives: Lay the crispy bacon strips over the eggs and sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions for freshness and flavor.
- Finish and serve: Top with the other toasted bagel half, press gently to hold everything together, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute turkey bacon or omit bacon entirely.
- Feel free to add avocado slices or tomato for extra freshness.
- Using a sharp cheddar cheese enhances the sandwich flavor, but you can substitute with any favorite cheese.
- To speed up preparation, cook the bacon in the oven alongside toasting the bagel.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the toastiness and egg creaminess.
