How to make Egg Wrapped Bagel Sandwich

Tips from the cook

  • Press the bagel halves into the eggs while they are still wet, so the egg sets around them.
  • Keep the heat at medium, so the egg sets and turns golden without burning.
  • Fry the bacon until properly crisp, so it holds up against the soft egg and tomato.
  • No bacon? Leave it out and add an extra slice of cheddar.
  • Eat it fresh. If you take it with you, wrap it in baking paper and eat it within a few hours.
