Breakfast Bagel Sandwich with Sausage

A breakfast bagel sandwich is a great start to the day for the whole family! The protein-packed breakfast sandwich combines three components: a protein (sausage and fried egg), a grain (bagel), and melty cheese (cheddar). This is what makes it so easy to keep this breakfast recipe on hand for those busy mornings when you need to get out the door ASAP! 30 minutes of cooking for a weeks worth of breakfast sandwiches. In addition to being quick and easy to prepare, best part of this easy breakfast recipe is that only requires two pans and simple ingredients.

How to make a bagel breakfast sandwich

• Step 1 Toast your bagel – Cut sides of bagel open if they are not precut bagels. Prepare the bagel by toasting it with butter in the oven. A toaster oven can also be used. Cut sides before this if it is not precut. This step comes first so it has time to cool and to soak up the butter before touching to eat or else your fingers will get greasy!
• Step 2 Cook the sausage – using pre shaped sausage patties helps cut down on time. Just cook according to directions whether that be in the oven or skillet.
• Step 3 Make the egg – make egg like you would an omlette and let cook all the way through. I do not recommend a runny egg for this breakfast bagel recipe. You may get by with a runny yoke, but do not freeze with runny yoke. Then, sprinkle cheese on top. Cut into 4 squares. 
• Step 4 Assemble your sandwich – place one side of the bagel down, then add sausage, and egg with cheddar cheese on top. Place top of the bagel over the cheese. There you have the bagel breakfast sandwich recipe made!

Variations of bagel breakfast sandwich

• Vegetarian – you can take the meat out and make this breakfast bagel sandwich vegetarian! 
• Utilize air fryer – air fryer breakfast bagel sandwich is a great way to make this meal quicker! Throw sausage in the air fryer while the eggs and bagel cook on the stove. You can even toast the bagel in the air fryer.
• Cream cheese – breakfast bagel sandwich with cream cheese is super yummy if you would like an additional cheese flavor
• No egg – eggs are not for everyone. You can make this bagel breakfast sandwich without eggs if you choose. In that case, you can add extra meats to make up for missing egg.
• Egg whites – instead of a whole fresh-cracked egg, you can use egg whites. 
• More nutrients – you can make this breakfast bagel sandwich recipe with avocado or bell peppers if you are looking to add more nutrients to your diet.  
• Other meats – in addition to sausage, you can make this breakfast sandwich with ham, Canadian bacon, spam, chicken, turkey, crispy bacon, etc if you are looking to add more proteins.
• Bagels – you can use fresh bagels, homemade bagels, sesame seed bagels or plain store bought bagels for this recipe. 

How to make a Bagel Breakfast Sandwich ahead of time:

• Fridge – prep the perfect cheese bagel breakfast sandwich on the weekend and store the leftover sandwiches in the fridge so you have breakfast all week. 
• Freezer – to put these sandwiches in the freezer, cook according to this delicious recipe, but let each part (bagel, egg, sausage) cool separately instead of assembling right away. On 2 sheet pans, place the cooked sausage patties and eggs in a single layer. Let freeze for about 30 minutes until solid. Then assemble with plain bagel. Wrap in tin foil and freeze together until ready to eat. When ready to eat, warm up bagel sandwich in microwave, without the tinfoil on. Wrap in a paper towel instead. If you find that some parts are more heated than others, you can warm up each part individually so that each part gets heated to your liking. 

Recipe tips

• Don’t forget to toast your bagel – this breakfast bagels sandwich should have the bagel toasted because it provides a crisp flavor
• Make your sandwich vegetarian – it is easy to make this bagel breakfast sandwich recipe vegetarian by taking out the meat. An egg and cheese breakfast sandwich tastes just as good!
• Use your favorite kind of bagel – there are an endless amount of bagel options, but your favorite kind should work for this egg and cheese breakfast recipe. Even if you use blueberry, it would provide a yummy sweet and savory flavor/
• Cut down on calories with an open-faced sandwich – you can double the recipe and cut down on the carbs by making one bagel side per sandwich. Assemble as normal, but the cheese would be the last ingredient on top to make your open faced sandwich.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 3 tbsp butter
• 8 plain bagels
• 8 preshaped circular sausage patties
• 4 large eggs
• 8 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

 

• On 2 9 x 13 baking sheets, place each bagel half inside up. Butter the inside. Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes or until the flat side is slightly toasty.
• During the 10 minutes, in a large skillet, cook sausage patties over medium high heat until they are cooked throughout. Flip over about halfway through.
• While both the bagels and sausage patties are cooking, in a small bowl, crack 2 eggs and beat them with a fork. Add any seasonings you want.
• When sausage is fully cooked, remove from pan and place on a separate plate.
• In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add in eggs. Do not scramble them just let them cook how they lay in the pan like you would an omlette. Swirl pan around to allow egg to spread to all sides of the pan. Put a lid on top to allow them to cook faster. Once edges of the eggs are firm and slightly brown, add 4 slices of cheese evenly spread throughout. Put lid back on to help cheese melt.
• When cheese is melted and eggs are firm, cut the eggs like a pizza into 4 pieces. Remove eggs from skillet and place on a plate. Repeat steps 3-4 with remaining 2 eggs.
• Once bagels are toasty, remove them from oven. Place eggs and sausage on a flat side of the bagel. Assembly by putting other half of bagel on top. Serve bagel breakfast sandwiches hot!
