Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 everything bagel, sliced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 slice sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 slices cooked bacon or 1 cooked turkey sausage patty
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1 handful fresh baby spinach or arugula
  • 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Hot sauce, everything bagel seasoning, or a tomato slice

Instructions

  1. Toast the bagel halves in a toaster or a dry skillet until crisp.
  2. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon or sausage until done. Remove and set aside, leaving about 1 tsp of fat in the pan.
  3. Add butter or oil to the skillet if needed. Crack in the egg, cover with a lid, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the white is set but the yolk is runny. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread cream cheese on the bottom bagel half. Layer on spinach, avocado, the cooked protein, the fried egg, and finally the cheese slice.
  5. Top with the other bagel half. Press gently, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

For meal prep, cook proteins in advance. Always toast the bagel to prevent sogginess. A runny yolk acts as a delicious sauce. Customize with different cheeses, proteins, or veggies.
