Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the bagels in half and gently widen the center holes to make room for the eggs.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp of butter. Place two bagel halves, cut side down, into the skillet. Carefully crack an egg into the center of each bagel hole and season with salt and pepper.
Cook until the bottoms are set, then transfer the bagel halves to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired doneness.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Always start with the bagels flat side down. If not, the eggs may slide out when you try to flip them.Wait for the egg to set up slightly before flipping the bagel to prevent the mixture from spilling out everywhere.Use a knife to widen the hole to fit the eggs better.For bacon lovers:Cook the bacon ahead of time, crumble, and add it to the egg mixture.
