I love to kickstart my morning with a hearty and flavorful bagel breakfast sandwich. Loaded with eggs, bacon, and gooey cheese, this sandwich always fuels me up for the day ahead. The creamy spicy mayo adds a delicious kick to this sandwich, which is my favorite handheld breakfast to take on the road.

What’s in This Bagel Breakfast Sandwich Recipe?

  • Bagels: The perfect hefty ‘buns’ for these breakfast sandwiches. Everything bagels are my fav!
  • Spicy Mayo: A simple mixture of mayonnaise, ketchup, and hot sauce adds creaminess and a touch of spice.
  • Butter: Helps toast the bagels and cook the eggs.
  • Eggs: I like fried or scrambled eggs for these breakfast bagels, but a folded omelette or sunny side up would also be delicious.
  • Cheese: Cheddar or American work well, but any melting cheese will work.
  • Bacon: Cooked bacon strips add a salty and umami flavor to these sandwiches.

Tips for Success

  • The eggs and bacon can be cooked a day ahead and reheated day of.
  • Feel free to add extras like sliced tomatoes, avocado, or lettuce to suit your taste preferences. The beauty of this bacon egg and cheese bagel recipe lies in its versatility!

How to Store and Reheat

While it’s best to assemble and enjoy them fresh, you can store the assembled bagel breakfast sandwiches in individual airtight containers or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

When ready to serve, take the bacon, egg, and cheese bagels out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. For the best results, reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes. Microwaving is an option, but the bagel may lose some crispiness.

I do not recommend freezing assembled bagel breakfast sandwiches, as the texture may change. However, you can freeze separately toasted bagels, cooked bacon, and even scrambled eggs. Reheat and assemble when ready to enjoy.

These breakfast bagel sandwiches are a complete meal on their own, so they’re perfect to take to-go on busy mornings. Enjoy it with a bulletproof coffee or some cold brew. If you’re enjoying them at home, try making avocado fries too.
