Print Recipe

A quick and easy breakfast sandwich featuring crispy everything bagels, savory bacon, melty cheddar, and eggs, perfect for rushed mornings or cozy brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 halves everything bagels
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese (sharp or medium)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Heat skillet over medium heat. Lay 4 slices of bacon flat without overlapping. Cook 4-5 minutes per side until desired crispness. Remove and drain on paper towels. Keep some bacon grease in pan for eggs.
  2. Prepare the eggs: For fried eggs, crack each egg into skillet and cook until whites set but yolks slightly runny (about 3 minutes). For scrambled, whisk eggs with salt and pepper, pour into skillet, and stir gently until softly set (2-3 minutes).
  3. Toast the bagels: Spread butter on cut sides of bagel halves. Place cut-side down in skillet or toaster oven until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  4. Assemble the sandwich: Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on toasted bagel bottoms if using. Layer cheddar cheese slice, cooked eggs, then bacon. Top with bagel tops.
  5. Optional final toast: Place assembled sandwich under broiler for 1-2 minutes for extra melty cheese. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Notes

Keep some bacon grease to cook eggs for added flavor. Butter bagel halves before toasting for extra crispness. Adjust bacon and egg cooking times to preference. Optional broiling melts cheese perfectly. For reheating, use toaster oven or skillet to keep bagel crisp; avoid microwave.
