Ingredients

  • 1 whole bagel
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 slice cheddar cheese
  • ¼ medium cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons red onion
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickles

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the bagel in half and toast until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium and crack in the 1 egg. Cook until the white is set and the yolk is still runny, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Place the 1 slice of cheddar on the bottom bagel half and top with the hot egg so the cheese melts.

  4. 4

    Top with the 0.25 cucumber (thinly sliced), 2 tbsp red onion, and 2 tbsp pickles. Close with the top half and serve warm.
