- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Butter or cooking oil, for frying
How to Make Bacon and Egg Breakfast Sandwich
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. If needed, add a little butter or cooking oil to coat the bottom. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- While the eggs are cooking, spread a generous layer of cream cheese on the cut sides of the toasted bagels.
- Once the eggs are done, carefully place one egg on each bagel half. Top each egg with two slices of crispy bacon.
- Sprinkle the chopped chives over the bacon and close the sandwich with the other bagel half. Serve immediately while warm.
Tips for the Best Results
- For a twist, try adding a slice of cheese on top of the egg and letting it melt for a gooey texture.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Experiment with different bagel flavors like everything or sesame for added taste.
- If you prefer a firmer yolk, cook the eggs a little longer or flip them for over-easy eggs.
Easy Variations
- Replace the bacon with turkey bacon or a plant-based alternative for a lighter option.
- Add sliced avocado or tomato for a fresh twist.
- Swap out the cream cheese for a flavored spread, such as herb or garlic cream cheese.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- A side of hash browns or home fries for extra heartiness.
- A cup of coffee or fresh juice to complement your meal.
