What do you put on a bagel for breakfast?

There are so many ways to top a bagel for a great breakfast! Keep it classic with fried eggs, cheddar cheese slices, and bacon or sausage or add a layer of cream cheese, lox, and capers. I love to take the cheesy egg theme to the next level by adding a little mayo, tomato, avocado, and arugula. The vegetables give it a light, fresh flavor, and the eggs will keep you full for a while. It's such a good combination!

What is the best sauce to add to a bagel sandwich?

Sauces can take an ordinary bagel sandwich to the net level, and there are so many options! Keep it simple with mayonnaise, or add a punch of flavor with hollandaise sauce, hot sauce, sriracha, pesto, guacamole, aioli, and more. Get creative with it!

How do you freeze breakfast bagel sandwiches?

If you want to make this delicious recipe before you need it, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, the vegetables should be stored separately, or they'll become soft and wet when you reheat the sandwiches. Add the mayo to an untoasted everything bagel, then add the cooked eggs and cheese. Let the sandwiches cool completely before you wrap them with plastic wrap or foil then freeze for 1-2 months. When you need one, place it in the fridge to thaw overnight. The next morning, toast the whole bagel sandwich in the toaster oven and add the fresh vegetables right before serving.

Instructions

Cut the bagel in half (2 slices) and place in your toaster. Spread mayo on the top slice. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick frying pan with oil over medium heat. Add the eggs and scramble. Don't break up the eggs too much, instead scramble the eggs and cook them into sheets, then fold them up for easy serving.
Place the cooked, scrambled eggs onto the bottom slice of your toasted bagel. Shake some salt and pepper on top to taste.
Add the cheese on top of the warm scrambled eggs.
Add sliced tomato, sliced avocado on top of the cheese. Top with arugula.
Finish by topping it up with the other half of the bagel. Slice down the middle and enjoy.

Notes

How to store: The bagel breakfast sandwiches are best served fresh as the vegetables will soften and wilt over time. If you want to prep these sandwiches in advance, wrap the untoasted bagels with the cheesy eggs in foil and store the vegetables separately. When you're ready to eat, toast the entire bagel sandwich and add the veggies right before serving.

How to reheat: Although you can microwave the sandwich (without the veggies), these sandwiches taste much better toasted in the toaster oven or air fryer. This will crisp up the bagel and reheat the eggs and cheese. Add the vegetables after toasting and serve right away.

How to freeze: For longer storage, wrap the untoasted bagels with the mayo, cooked eggs, and cheese in foil and freeze for 1-2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating following the instructions above.
