Ingredients
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk or cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
2 slices cooked bacon
1 slice cheddar cheese
1 everything bagel
Fresh chives, finely chopped
Cooking spray or oil (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
2. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs and cook gently, stirring with a spatula until soft curds form. Remove from heat slightly underdone—they’ll finish off-heat.
4. While the eggs cook, toast your bagel halves until golden and crisp.
5. Place cheddar cheese on the bottom half of the toasted bagel.
6. Pile scrambled eggs over the cheese, then layer with crispy bacon.
7. Sprinkle with chopped chives if using.
8. Close the sandwich with the top bagel half and serve warm.
Notes
Let the cheese come to room temperature before assembling—it melts more easily.
Toasting the bagel is essential to prevent sogginess and add structure.
Cook eggs on low heat to keep them creamy and tender.
