Easy Bagel Egg Sandwich Recipes

BAKED BAGEL EGG-IN-THE-HOLE

Steps:

• For the baked bagel egg-in-the-hole: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the parchment with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.
• Using a 2-inch round cutter, make the center of each bagel half larger. Save the cutout pieces. Brush the cut side of the bagels and bagel cutouts with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.
• Place the bagels cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Line up the cutout pieces down the center of the baking sheet cut-side down as well. Using the palm of your hand, press the bagels into the baking sheet. This will help make sure they are touching the baking sheet so the eggs won't seep out before they're cooked.
• Brush the tops of the bagels and cutouts with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Crack an egg into each bagel hole. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs; 11 minutes will give you a runny yolk, while 14 minutes will give you a fully cooked yolk.
• For the hollandaise: In a small saucepan, melt the butter until sizzling.
• Put the egg yolks in a blender and turn on a low speed to allow them to combine. While the machine is running, slowly begin pouring the hot butter into the blender in a thin, steady stream. Once all the butter is in, immediately begin adding the lemon juice.
• Check the blender to make sure the sauce is still liquidy and moving easily through the blades. If not, add a little more juice and give it a stir and then blend again. Add the cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a serving pitcher and cover with foil until serving.
• For the garnish: Transfer the bagels and cutouts to a serving platter. Arrange the salmon around the bagels and garnish with the red onions, chives and capers. Serve with the warm hollandaise on the side.

Steps:

• For the bagels: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• For the bacon: Place the bacon on a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. Place in the oven top rack for 10 minutes. When the bacon is done, set aside 2 tablespoons bacon grease.
• For the egg sandwiches: Beat the eggs in a bowl. Then pour in a cold skillet and place on medium-low heat. Wait a minute, then gently stir the eggs until they form soft wet curds. Then add the cheese, creme fraiche, salt and pepper. Mix and immediately take off the heat. The eggs will continue cooking off the heat. Perfect silky buttery eggs!
• For the arugula salad: Whisk the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Then toss in the arugula. This makes the perfect peppery salty bite.
• To assemble: Cut the sesame bagels in half and top with some egg. Place 2 strips of bacon on each sandwich. Top with the arugula salad and indulge in comfort food love.
