Why You’ll Love This Everything Bagel Breakfast Sandwich
You know those bacon egg cheese sandwiches that always hit the spot? This one levels up with a zesty scallion cream cheese bagel and a cheeky drizzle of hot honey. The combo of salty, creamy, crispy, and sweet is just… chef’s kiss. It’s the kind of breakfast that makes you feel like you’ve got your life together (even if your socks don’t match).
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (60 g) sliced green onions (about 2 green onions)
- 4 tablespoons (60 g) whipped cream cheese
- 1 everything bagel, toasted
- 2 eggs
- 2 slices American cheese or cheddar (approx. 40 g)
- 2 slices bacon, cooked and halved
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) hot honey (or regular honey)
How to Make It
- Mix up your scallion cream cheese: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and green onions. This spread is basically the soul of your sandwich.
- Toast your bagel: Go as golden and crispy as you like. You’re the boss here.
- Cook the eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet with a little olive oil spray. Crack and scramble the eggs, then pour them in and let them cook into a flat sheet.
- Add the cheese: Once the edges of the egg lift slightly, add the cheese slices to the center. Fold the eggs over the cheese into a square. It’s like a warm, gooey egg envelope.
- Build the layers: Place the cheesy eggs onto the bottom half of the toasted bagel. Top with bacon slices, then drizzle with hot honey.
- Top it off: Scoop a shallow well into the top half of the bagel and fill it with your scallion cream cheese. Cap the sandwich and press gently.
- Serve hot: Take a big bite and bask in the delicious chaos.
Tips to Make It Even Better
- Use pre-cooked bacon to save time (no judgment here!).
- If you’re not into spice, regular honey still adds that lovely sweet touch.
- Want a fluffier egg? Add a splash of milk when scrambling.
- Cheddar or pepper jack can be swapped for American if you’re feeling fancy.
- Meal prep tip: Make the scallion cream cheese ahead and store it in the fridge. It’s also amazing on crackers.
And hey, if your egg folding looks a little wonky? That just means it’s homemade with love.
A Little Backstory
This sandwich came to life during a sleepy Sunday when my fridge was down to the usual suspects: eggs, bacon, bagels. I was craving something comforting but with a twist—a little sweet, a little spicy, totally satisfying. Enter: hot honey. One drizzle and boom, magic. My kids were licking their fingers, and my husband claimed it was better than his favorite deli spot. Now it’s a weekend staple in our house.
What to Serve with It
Pair this with a big mug of coffee or a creamy latte. For a fuller breakfast, try some fresh fruit or a green smoothie on the side. If you’re hosting brunch, serve these sandwiches with a fruit salad and mimosas—your guests will think you planned it all week. And for a cozy solo morning? Pajamas, coffee, and this sandwich. Pure bliss.
How to Store It
Got leftovers? Wrap your Everything Bagel Breakfast Sandwich in foil and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet for best texture (microwaving can make the bagel soggy, and no one wants that!).
If you’re planning ahead, you can prep the egg, and cream cheese separately. In the morning, just toast the bagel and assemble. You can even freeze the cooked eggs and bacon—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
FAQs
Can I make this without bacon?
Absolutely. Swap in avocado slices or a plant-based sausage patty if you prefer.
Is hot honey super spicy?
It has a mild kick, not a full-on fire. If you’re nervous, try just a small drizzle.
Can I use a different bagel flavor?
Sure! A plain or whole wheat bagel works great too, but the everything bagel gives it that bold flavor punch.
Is this kid-friendly?
Totally. Just go light on the hot honey or skip it entirely for younger palates.
This Everything Bagel Breakfast Sandwich is a little bit messy, a lot delicious, and totally worth the (minimal) effort. It’s a morning win you can count on, whether you’re fueling up for work, soccer practice, or a cozy Sunday morning on the couch. So go ahead—give your breakfast a glow-up. One bite, and you’ll see why this one’s on repeat in my house.
