Skip the drive-thru and make your own homemade Breakfast Bagel Sandwich! Made with bacon, eggs, cheese, and a toasted and buttered everything bagel, this super hearty and delicious breakfast sandwich will definitely keep you satisfied until lunchtime!
Cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium-low heat to your desired level of crispiness (I recommend using a non-stick pan because we will be cooking the eggs in this pan later). Remove the bacon from the frying pan and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to allow some of the grease to drain off. Carefully remove all but one teaspoon of the bacon grease from the pan.
While the bacon is cooking, toast your bagel and butter each side with 1 teaspoon of butter. Set aside.
Crack the eggs into the pan. Using a fork, break the yolks so that they spread out a bit. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Cook until the bottoms of the eggs are set. Carefully flip the eggs over and cook until the yolks are firm. Remove the pan from the heat.
Stack the eggs one on top of the other, and top with the American cheese. Let it sit for a minute or two so that the cheese melts slightly.
Place the eggs on the bottom half of the bagel, then top with the bacon and the bagel top. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
You can also cook the bacon in the microwave or in the oven if you prefer. You will just need a teaspoon of butter or oil to cook the eggs.
