My Favorite Breakfast Sandwich

When I was a kid, my dad would make me and my brother bagel sandwiches for breakfast before school allll the time. To this day, I still think he makes them better than any famous bagel place. Now that I'm 22 and cook for myself, I've been trying to recreate and reinvent his amazing breakfast sandwiches. As I've gotten older, I've begun to add things like arugula or spinach and avocado to my sandwich. Green things that, growing up, seemed repulsive to me. However, as my sandwiches have moved farther away from the simple eggs and bacon my dad used to put on a bagel, one thing has always remained the same. The perfect fried eggs. Let me let you in what is, in my opinion, the best breakfast sandwich.

Ingredients

• Bagel of choice (I prefer Everything)

• Butter (This is KEY)

• Two Eggs

• Cheese - if you want (I don't always add it)

• Arugula or Spinach

• Avocado

• Bacon

• Hot sauce

Recipe:

1. Start cooking your bacon

2. Toast your bagel

3. While your bagel is toasting, heat a pan with butter or oil and crack your eggs to start cooking

4. Let the eggs cook until the yolk is still soft in the middle, but harder around the edges, you're going for a jammy yolk so that it doesn't spill everywhere, but we still get some yummy yolk

5. While your eggs and bacon are cooking slice your avocado and butter your bagel - you might think buttering your bagel is unnecessary if you're going to add bacon which creates a lot of grease, but trust me, it's worth it.

6. If you're using cheese- for the last few minutes of your eggs cooking, add your cheese on top of them so it melts

7. Add the avocado to the bagel

8. Add a little bit of spinach or arugula

9. Add your two eggs and bacon + some hot sauce

10. Cut it open & ENJOY!
