A Breakfast Bagel combines toasted bagel, egg, avocado, cheese, and pickled onions.Za'atar and spicy sauce add aromatic, tangy flavor.This easy breakfast sandwich takes about 15 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- - 1 bagel of choice
- - 1 large egg
- - 1/4 avocado
- - 1–2 tablespoons pickled onions
- - 1–2 slices Emmental cheese
- - 1 pinch za'atar
- - Spicy mayo sriracha-style sauce, or favorite hot sauce, for drizzling
- - 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
- - Salt to taste
- - Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the bagel in half horizontally.
- Toast the cut sides in a dry skillet, toaster, toaster oven, or air fryer until lightly golden and crisp.
- Slice the avocado and arrange it evenly over the bottom half of the toasted bagel.
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Carefully crack in the egg, keeping the yolk intact.
- Season the egg with salt, black pepper, and a generous pinch of za'atar.
- Cover the skillet and cook for a few minutes until the egg white is completely set and the yolk reaches your preferred doneness. For a firmer yolk, cook a little longer or carefully flip the egg.
- Place the cooked egg over the avocado. Immediately add the Emmental cheese so the warmth of the egg begins to soften it.
- Add the pickled onions and drizzle with spicy mayo, sriracha-style sauce, or your favorite hot sauce.
- Place the remaining bagel half on top of your Breakfast Bagel, gently press, and slice in half before serving.
Notes
Emmental can be replaced with cheddar, mozzarella, Gouda, Monterey Jack, or another good melting cheese.
For extra protein, use a high-protein bagel or add another egg.
If you prefer less heat, replace the spicy mayo with regular mayonnaise, garlic yogurt sauce, or another mild creamy sauce.
Fresh tomato, cucumber, arugula, baby spinach, or microgreens can also be added for extra freshness.
