Ingredients
bagel
1 (sliced in half and toasted)
egg
1 (whisked)
cheddar cheese
1 slice (single slice (or equivalent of other cheese))
deli ham or deli roast beef
2 slices (any preferred lunch meat)
Instructions
1
Begin by whisking the egg in a bowl until well combined. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in the whisked egg. Stir gently to scramble and cook until the egg is just set, about 2-3 minutes.
2
While the egg is cooking, slice the bagel in half and toast it to your desired crispiness.
3
Once toasted, lay your choice of deli meat on the bottom half of the bagel. If using ham or roast beef, you might want to warm it slightly in the pan for extra flavor.
4
When the eggs are fully scrambled, place them on top of the lunch meat, making sure to cover it evenly.
5
Immediately add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the scrambled eggs and allow it to melt for a minute or two.
6
Top the sandwich with the other half of the bagel and, for an extra warm treat, pop it in the microwave for 30-45 seconds to warm everything through.
7
Slice in half if desired, and enjoy your Ultimate Breakfast Bagel Delight!
