Egg in a Bagel
Perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch, this easy egg in a bagel takes just 20 minutes and a few pantry staples to make.
Ingredients
- 1 bagel
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoon shredded cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Slice the bagel and remove the a bit of the center with a paring knife, making space for the egg. Brush some butter over both the insides.
- On a lined baking sheet, arrange a teaspoon of shredded cheese and place the bagel half over it.
- Crack an egg into the bagel hole.
- Add cherry tomato halves, season with your favorite seasoning and top with more cheese. Bake for 13-15 minutes.
Notes
- Don't let go of the bagel scraps you have leftover after removing the middle. Brush them with some butter and bake them alongside the bagels!
- To keep a nice balance between the egg and bread, I used one sliced half of a bagel with one egg. If you prefer a heartier version, you can use a whole bagel too.
- The eggs can go from runny to overcooked pretty quick. Keep an eye on them at the 12-13 minute mark and remove them whenever they look set, or depending on your personal preference.
- You can also bulk up the bagel with other toppings and mix-ins of your choice. I love chopping up some leftover veggies that I have (zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers and onions are great) and adding them in too.
