Ingredients

Scale

Bagel Base

  • 2 fresh bagels, plain or flavored, sliced in half
  • Butter or oil for toasting

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Butter or oil for cooking eggs

Cheese

  • 4 slices of cheddar, American, or mozzarella cheese

Meat (Optional)

  • 4 slices of bacon or 2 cooked sausage links, browned and crispy

Vegetables (Optional)

  • Handful of fresh spinach
  • 2 slices of tomato
  • Sliced avocado

Seasonings and Extras

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional spices like paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Bagels: Slice the bagels in half and toast them until golden brown and crisp on the edges. This creates a sturdy base that prevents sogginess when adding fillings.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Scramble or fry them in butter or oil until just set but still soft and creamy, avoiding overcooking to maintain flavor and texture.
  3. Cook Your Meats: If using bacon or sausage, cook until nicely browned and crispy for a smoky, savory flavor that complements the eggs and bagel.
  4. Assemble the Bagels: Layer the cooked eggs over the toasted bagel halves. Add cheese on top so it melts slightly from the warm eggs, then finish with cooked meats and any desired vegetables or extras.
  5. Final Toast or Melt: Place assembled bagels under a broiler or in a toaster oven for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles, creating an indulgent finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh bagels for the best texture and flavor; avoid pre-packaged or stale options.
  • Do not overcook eggs, keep them soft and moist for a creamy texture.
  • Pre-cook all meats and vegetables fully before assembly to prevent sogginess.
  • Layer cheese between eggs and meat to help the ingredients stick together.
  • Serve immediately for optimal freshness and taste.
