Everything Bagel Breakfast Sandwich

Everything & Everything

I know, another breakfast sandwich recipe, but sometimes I just can’t wait to wake up and enjoy a savory breakfast sandwich. This is for those mornings when I’m craving something more substantial than a chia pudding or yogurt bowl. There’s something so satifiying about a warm, toasted everything bagel filled with soft-scrambled eggs, honey ham, and sweet grilled onions. This sandwich is also perfect for meal prep; just wrap it up and pop it in the fridge for a quick, breakfast later in the week.

For this one, we are using everything bagels because they are the best bagel flavor. But they can be a bit too salty if the meat and bagel are too salty. That’s why I’m balancing out the saltiness with honey ham from the Whole Foods deli. This combo gives it the perfect sweet and salty combo.

I’m making soft scrambled eggs for this sandwich because it is my favorite way to eat eggs right now. To complete this sandwich is the grilled onions because I just can’t have a sandwich without them.

Anyway, this breakfast sandwich is pretty straightforward and only uses one pan so minimal cleanup. It does not involve a lot of time, and you can just wrap it up, put it in the fridge, then microwave it when you are ready to eat it. It stores well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. So let me show you how to make everything!

• Soft-Scrambled Eggs: Keep the heat low and stir gently to get the perfect, creamy consistency.

• Bagels: Toast to your desired level of crispiness. I prefer a golden-brown crunch.

• Onions: Low and slow is the key to getting those onions perfectly caramelized. They’ll add a sweet contrast to the salty bagel and ham.

Everything Bagel Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 8 eggs

• 2 Tbsp milk

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• 4 slices of American cheese

• 4 slices of honey ham

• 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced

• 4 everything bagels

• 2 Tbsp butter (divided)

• Chives (optional)

Instructions:

1. Make the Soft-Scrambled Eggs:

   • Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

   • Melt 1 Tbsp of butter in a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat.

   • Pour in the egg mixture and stir slowly in a circular motion until curds begin to form.

   • Add the cheese slices and keep stirring until the eggs are just set but still look a bit glossy and moist. Take off the heat and set aside.

2. Cook the Ham:

   • In the same pan, add the ham slices and cook for about 1 minute to warm them up and bring out their flavor. Set aside.

3. Caramelize the Onions:

   • Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel, then melt the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter over medium heat.

   • Add the sliced onions and cook slowly until they’re golden brown and sweet. This will take a little time, but it’s worth it!

4. Toast the Bagels:

   • While the onions are cooking, toast your bagels to your liking.

5. Assemble the Sandwich:

   • Spread the soft-scrambled eggs evenly on the bottom half of each bagel.

   • Add a slice of ham, then top with a generous helping of caramelized onions.

   • Sprinkle some chives on top if you’re feeling fancy, then place the bagel tops on.

6. Meal Prep (Optional):

   • Wrap the sandwiches in parchment paper and store them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

   • When you’re ready to eat, microwave the sandwich for 30-45 seconds. Add ketchup or your favorite dressing if you’d like.
