If you’re looking for a leisurely breakfast recipe, then these eggs in a bagel should definitely be at the top of your list. They’re quick and straightforward to make, and they taste amazing.
You can use any kind of bagel for this recipe, but I prefer using everything bagels because they add so much unique flavor.
Ingredients
Eggs: I love starting the day off with eggs. Eggs are a great source of protein and a perfect ingredient for any breakfast.
Chives: I love homegrown chives, but any fresh store-bought will be just fine.
Cheddar cheese: This was the game-changer for me. If you don’t have cheddar cheese or are dairy-free, simply leave it out.
Salt & Pepper: What are eggs without a dash of salt and pepper?
Butter: I prefer regular old butter, while margarine or coconut oil will work.
Everything Bagels: I used homemade bagels with everything seasoning. Store-bought everything or plain bagels are both delicious.
