Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bagels
- 4 large eggs
- 4 breakfast sausage patties (precooked or raw)
- 4 slices American cheese
- Butter (optional, for toasting)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and speed up cleanup.
- Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, then beat well. Pour into a preheated nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat, gently stirring until just set. The eggs should still be slightly soft and glossy to avoid overcooking during baking.
- Prepare the Sausage: If using precooked patties, heat them in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. If raw, cook in a skillet over medium heat until browned and no pink remains in the center.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice each bagel in half and place the bottoms on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, lightly butter the cut sides for extra toastiness. Top each bottom half with a sausage patty, scrambled eggs, and a slice of cheese. Place the top half of the bagel on each sandwich.
- Bake the Bagels: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bagels are slightly crispy on the outside. Watch carefully to avoid burning the tops.
- Serve or Store: Let the sandwiches cool slightly before serving. For meal prep, wrap each sandwich in foil or parchment paper and refrigerate or freeze.
Notes
- For extra flavor, spread cream cheese or a touch of Dijon mustard on the bagels before assembling. Want to sneak in veggies? Add a layer of baby spinach or sautéed peppers with the eggs. These sandwiches reheat best in the oven, but the microwave works for speed. For a leaner version, use turkey sausage or egg whites.
