Ingredients
- 2 bagels, sliced
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat for cooking bacon and eggs.
- Place bacon slices in the cold skillet and cook slowly, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown (approximately 5-7 minutes). Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet with remaining bacon fat, crack eggs directly onto the surface. Season with salt and pepper. Cook eggs to your preferred style - sunny-side up or over-easy works best for this sandwich.
- While eggs are cooking, slice bagels in half and lightly toast them until golden and crisp around the edges.
- Slice the avocado into thin, even slices.
- Assemble the sandwich by placing a cooked egg on the bottom half of each toasted bagel.
- Layer two bacon slices on top of each egg.
- Arrange avocado slices over the bacon.
- Place the top half of the bagel over the avocado to complete the sandwich.
- Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while ingredients are warm and fresh.
Tips
- Choose high-quality, fresh bagels for the best texture and flavor.
- Cook bacon slowly to render out fat and achieve maximum crispiness.
- For perfectly cooked eggs, use medium heat and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Let bacon rest on paper towels to remove excess grease and maintain crispness.
- Time your toasting and cooking to ensure all components are warm when assembling.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a light spread of butter or cream cheese to your bagel before toasting.
- Experiment with different bacon varieties like applewood-smoked or peppered bacon for unique taste profiles.
- If you prefer, you can substitute bacon with ham or sausage patties.
