Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Bagel (plain or seeded)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 slices Bacon
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cooking oil
Instructions
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat and add the cooking oil.
Place the two slices of bacon in the pan and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to drain excess fat.
Halve the bagel horizontally and lightly toast it in the same pan using the leftover bacon grease for additional flavor, or use a toaster if preferred.
In the meanwhile, crack the egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the frying pan, taking care not to break the yolk.
Sprinkle the egg with salt and black pepper, and cook it sunny-side up until the white is set and slightly crisp around the edges, about 3-4 minutes.
As the egg cooks, place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the egg and cover the frying pan with a lid to melt the cheese slightly in the final 2 minutes of cooking.
Once the bagel is toasted, spread a thin layer of butter over each half.
To assemble, place the bacon strips on the bottom half of the bagel, followed by the egg and melted cheese.
Place the top half of the bagel on the sandwich and serve immediately while warm.
