Bacon Egg and Cheese Bagel Ingredients
The ingredients in these breakfast sandwiches are pretty basic:
- Bagels – I've used a plain bagel, but use whatever your favorite kind and flavor is. Anything goes! Bonus points for New York style.
- Butter – Used for cooking eggs, but you could also use your favorite fat/oil.
- Eggs – Use high-quality eggs for best flavor.
- Cheese – I used a pre-sliced cheese, but you can also slice your own. Use any variety: cheddar cheese, colby jack, American, pepper jack, havarti.
- Bacon – Use pre-cooked bacon as a shortcut to help this come together really quickly! Or cook a thick-cut bacon ahead. You can also use a slice of ham or Canadian bacon.

- Heat bacon. Reheat bacon until warm.
- Toast bagels. While eggs are cooking, slice bagel and lightly toast bagels and spread with butter if desired.
