Ingredients
1 bagel, any flavor
1 large egg
1 slice American cheese or cheddar
1 tablespoon butter or oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 2 slices cooked bacon or ham
Instructions
Slice the bagel in half and toast until golden.
In a small nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Crack the egg into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the white is set but yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes. For a firmer yolk, flip and cook 1 more minute.
Place the cheese slice on the bottom half of the toasted bagel. Top with the cooked egg. Add bacon or ham if using.
Close with the top half of the bagel and serve immediately.
Tips
For extra flavor, spread cream cheese on the bagel before adding the egg.
You can also use a bagel thin or English muffin instead.
