Ingredients

• 1 whole Bagel (plain or seeded)
• 1 large Egg
• 2 slices Bacon
• 1 slice Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a frying pan over medium heat and add the cooking oil.

Step 2

Place the two slices of bacon in the pan and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to drain excess fat.

Step 3

Halve the bagel horizontally and lightly toast it in the same pan using the leftover bacon grease for additional flavor, or use a toaster if preferred.

Step 4

In the meanwhile, crack the egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the frying pan, taking care not to break the yolk.

Step 5

Sprinkle the egg with salt and black pepper, and cook it sunny-side up until the white is set and slightly crisp around the edges, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

As the egg cooks, place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the egg and cover the frying pan with a lid to melt the cheese slightly in the final 2 minutes of cooking.

Step 7

Once the bagel is toasted, spread a thin layer of butter over each half.

Step 8

To assemble, place the bacon strips on the bottom half of the bagel, followed by the egg and melted cheese.

Step 9

Place the top half of the bagel on the sandwich and serve immediately while warm.
