Notes
- Make it ahead: Prep all the sandwich components ahead of time and assemble in the morning. Store cooked eggs in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheating tip: If making ahead, wrap the sandwich in foil and reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to keep the bagel from getting soggy.
- Make it vegetarian: Skip the deli meat and add avocado, sautéed mushrooms, or extra cheese.
- Bagel swap: Try whole grain, gluten-free, or low-carb bagels to suit your dietary needs.
- Spice it up: Add sliced jalapeños, hot sauce, or a dash of chili flakes for heat.
- Kid-friendly tip: Scramble the eggs instead of cooking them over easy for less mess.
- Meal prep idea: Double the recipe and store the extras wrapped in parchment + foil in the fridge for grab-and-go breakfasts all week.
