Ingredients
- 2 slices bacon slices
- 1 whole bagel, split
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 slice sharp cheddar or American cheese slice
- 1 tbsp capers, drained
- 2 tbsp red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- 1
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high until edges curl and darken, ~4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- 2
Toast bagel halves in the same skillet (or toaster) until golden and crispy on the cut sides, ~2 minutes.
- 3
Crack egg into the skillet over medium heat. Cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes.
- 4
Lay cheese slice on the fried egg while it's still in the pan — residual heat will melt it in 30 seconds.
- 5
Stack bottom bagel half with bacon, then the cheesy egg. Top with capers and sliced red onions, then the other bagel half.
- 6
Serve immediately with cucumber slices and a lemon wedge on the side.
Tools you’ll need
