Bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel Recipe

American · Main course · 15 min total

A classic New York-style breakfast sandwich featuring crispy bacon, a fluffy fried egg, and melted cheese on a toasted bagel.

Ingredients

• 1 everything bagel, split
• 2 slices bacon
• 1 large egg
• 1 slice American cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; pour off all but 1 teaspoon of fat.
2. Spread cut sides of bagel with butter. Toast in a toaster or under broiler until golden.
3. Return skillet with reserved bacon fat to medium heat. Crack egg into pan; season with salt and pepper. Cook until white is set, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook 30 seconds more for over-easy, or to desired doneness.
4. Place cheese slice on bottom half of toasted bagel. Top with cooked egg, then bacon. Close with top half of bagel. Serve immediately.

Tips

• Use a fresh bagel for best texture.
• Substitute cheddar or provolone for American cheese if desired.
• Add a dash of hot sauce for extra kick.
