Ingredients

2 bagels
½ pound breakfast sausage or bacon or ham
3 large eggs
2 slices American cheese

Instructions

Cook the sausage or bacon. We use air fryer breakfast sausage or air fryer bacon for a quick finish. Top the sausage with cheese. Let it melt in the air fryer for about a minute.
Whisk the eggs in a small, round microwave-safe bowl. Add about a tablespoon of cold water, salt and pepper. Whisk them together again. Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap, so steam can escape. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then repeat at 30-second intervals until the eggs are almost set.
Let them sit for 30 seconds to one minute. They’ll finish cooking while they rest. Remove them from the microwave. For a bacon sandwich, melt a slice of cheese on top of the eggs.
Toast the bagel while the eggs cook.
Add the sausage or bacon to the bottom half of each bagel, then top with the eggs. Serve.

Notes

Make Ahead and Storage

These sandwiches are a great meal prep recipe that’s perfect for busy mornings.

Cook the sandwich ingredients as described above.
Build the sandwiches.
Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper. Add them to an airtight freezer container. Freeze for 3-6 months. They can be refrigerated for 3-4 days.

To Reheat Breakfast Sandwiches

You can reheat the bagels in a medium heat (350°F) toaster oven, regular oven or air fryer.

To speed up the process, microwave them for about 1 minute to thaw, then transfer them to your preferred oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until hot and crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I cook the eggs for a large crowd or meal prep?

Cook the scrambled eggs in butter in a large non-stick skillet. Add a few tablespoons to make them fluffier. Move the eggs around often to add more air for a better texture.

Can I use fried eggs instead of scrambled?

Yes, fried eggs work well. Cook them so the yolks are semi-hard, so they don’t run when eaten.

What cheese melts the best?

American cheese slices are the best melting cheese. Mild cheddar is your next best bet.

Can I make them without a microwave?

Absolutely, scramble the eggs as described in the first question above.
