Ingredients
- 2 Bagels Chili Pepper and Cheddar
- 2 tbsp Cream Cheese
- 6 slices Deli Ham
- 1/4 cup Colby Jack Cheese grated
- 3 Eggs
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Cut the bagels in half horizontally using a serrated knife. To give the bagels texture, toast the bagels in a toaster or in the oven on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for 3-5 minutes.
- While the bagel is still warm, spread 1 tbsp of cream cheese on each bagel.
- (optional but preferred) In a saute pan over medium-high heat, toast the slices of ham on each side until the natural sugars in the ham begin to caramelize and brown.
- Layer three slices of ham on each bagel sandwich on top of the cream cheese.
- Crack the eggs in a small bowl and whisk to combine, and add salt and pepper, to taste, and whisk to combine.*
- In the same saute pan over medium heat, cook eggs to your preferred doneness. (I like soft-set scrambled eggs for less messy eating)
- During the last minute of cooking the eggs, top eggs with cheese to melt the cheese.
- Place the eggs on top of the ham, and top the sandwich with the top half of the bagel.
- Slice in half vertically, and enjoy!
Notes
*If making for a crowd, eggs can be baked in a sheet pan or a muffin pan in the oven at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Eggs can also be prepared your favorite way. Sunny side-up eggs or over-easy eggs would be delicious too!
The bagel sandwich can be customized to your favorite combinations.
