Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 bagels or slices of bread
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. In the same skillet with some bacon grease, scramble the eggs over medium-low heat until just set.
- Slice the bagels or bread in half. Butter each cut side and toast face-down in another skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble your sandwich by layering crispy bacon on one half of the toasted bagel or bread, followed by scrambled eggs and topped with cheese.
- Cover with a lid for about a minute to allow the cheese to melt.
- Serve warm and enjoy with optional toppings like avocado or hot sauce.
