Ingredients
Scale
Bagel
- 1 bagel, sliced and toasted
Eggs and Cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bacon and Toppings
- 2 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions
Instructions
- Toast the Bagel: Slice the bagel into two halves and toast them until they are golden brown and crisp to create a sturdy base for the sandwich.
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they become crispy. Once done, remove them from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Prepare Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, then whisk them thoroughly until well combined.
- Soft Scramble the Eggs: Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat, pour in the whisked eggs, and gently stir continuously for soft scrambled eggs.
- Melt the Cheese: Lay the cheddar cheese slices over the warm scrambled eggs in the pan and cover briefly to allow the cheese to melt smoothly.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the cheesy scrambled eggs onto the bottom half of the toasted bagel.
- Add Bacon and Chives: Layer the crispy bacon strips on top of the eggs and sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions for a fresh taste.
- Finish and Serve: Top with the other toasted bagel half, press gently to hold the sandwich together, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your preferred cheese such as Swiss or American.
- For a healthier option, use turkey bacon or omit bacon altogether.
- Add sliced tomato or avocado for extra freshness and flavor.
- Soft scrambling the eggs over low heat ensures creamy texture without overcooking.
