Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Bagel
- 1 Large egg
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional)
Instructions
Slice the bagel in half horizontally and set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
Crack the egg into the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until the egg white is set and the yolk reaches your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side-up or flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes for over-easy.
Meanwhile, toast the bagel halves in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the egg during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
Place the cooked egg and melted cheese onto one half of the toasted bagel.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped chives over the top for added flavor.
Top with the other half of the bagel and serve immediately.
