Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 bagels
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon or sausage
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs by cracking each egg into a separate greased ramekin or muffin tin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the eggs for 12-15 minutes until the whites are set and yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.
- While eggs are cooking, slice the bagels in half and lightly toast them until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- Cook bacon or sausage in a skillet until crisp and fully cooked. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Once eggs are done, carefully remove them from the ramekins or muffin tin.
- Assemble each sandwich by placing a slice of cheese on the bottom half of the bagel, followed by a cooked egg, then a slice of bacon or sausage.
- Top with the other half of the bagel to complete the sandwich.
- Allow sandwiches to cool completely to room temperature.
- Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container.
- Label the bag with the date and contents. Sandwiches can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- To reheat, remove plastic wrap and wrap in a paper towel. Microwave from frozen for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
Tips
- Egg Consistency: For perfectly cooked eggs, keep an eye on them while baking. If you prefer runny yolks, aim for the lower end of the baking time.
- Bagel Selection: Choose your favorite type of bagel—everything, plain, or whole grain—to add a personal touch to your sandwiches.
- Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, pepper jack, or even cream cheese for a unique flavor profile.
- Protein Choices: Swap out bacon or sausage for turkey bacon or a plant-based sausage to cater to your dietary preferences.
- Storage Tips: Make sure to let the sandwiches cool completely before wrapping to avoid sogginess and freezer burn.
- Reheating Hacks: For a crispier sandwich, consider reheating in a toaster oven instead of the microwave for a few minutes.
- Meal Prep Magic: Double the recipe and stock your freezer for those busy weekdays when you need a quick, hearty meal in a flash.
