Ingredients
- 4 bagels, sliced and toasted
- 4 sausage patties (pork, chicken, or turkey)
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or pepper jack)
- 2 tbsp butter (for cooking the eggs)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Add-Ons
- Avocado slices
- Hot sauce or ketchup
- Spinach or arugula
- Tomato slices
Directions
- Cook the Sausage Patties:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and fully cooked. Set aside and keep warm. - Toast the Bagels:
While the sausage is cooking, toast the bagels to your desired level of crispiness. A toaster or skillet works perfectly for this step. - Cook the Eggs:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, or flip for over-easy eggs if preferred. - Assemble the Sandwiches:
Place a sausage patty on the bottom half of each toasted bagel. Top with a cooked egg and a slice of cheese. Cover with the top half of the bagel. - Melt the Cheese:
Wrap each assembled sandwich in foil and place them in the warm skillet for 1-2 minutes (or use a low oven) to let the cheese melt. - Serve:
Unwrap and enjoy your warm, cheesy breakfast bagel!
Notes
- Make It Ahead: Assemble the sandwiches and wrap them in foil. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Reheat Instructions: For a quick reheat, microwave for 30-45 seconds or bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
- Customize the Bagels: Use everything bagels, plain, sesame, or any bagel flavor you love!
- Use English Muffins or Croissants: Swap the bagels with another bread option for a twist.
