Recreate the iconic Tim Hortons Bagel BELT at home with this quick, satisfying recipe that combines irresistible flavors and textures in every bite. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, this delight starts with a toasted plain bagel slathered in creamy butter and tangy mayonnaise, providing the foundation for layers of crispy bacon, a perfectly cooked egg seasoned with salt and pepper, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomato slices. Whether you prefer your egg sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled, this customizable classic delivers the indulgence of a restaurant-quality sandwich in just 15 minutes. Serve it warm for a hearty, comforting meal that's perfect any time of day.
Begin by slicing your bagel in half and setting your toaster to medium heat. Toast the bagel halves until they are golden brown.
While the bagel is toasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon strips until they are crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
Using the same skillet, gently crack the egg and cook it to your preference – either sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove the egg once cooked and set aside.
Once the bagel is toasted, spread butter on the cut sides of both halves.
On the bottom half of the bagel, spread the mayonnaise evenly.
Layer the crispy bacon strips on top of the mayonnaise.
Place the cooked egg over the bacon strips.
Add the lettuce leaf on top of the egg followed by the tomato slices.
Complete the sandwich by placing the top half of the bagel over the assembled layers.
Serve the Bagel BELT immediately while warm, and enjoy a homemade version of this Tim Hortons classic!
