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
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.
Spread cut sides of bagel with butter. Toast in a toaster or under broiler until golden.
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.
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.
