Ingredients

6 oz thinly sliced steak
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 bagel, sliced and toasted
2 large eggs
1 tbsp butter
1–2 slices American, cheddar, or provolone cheese
Optional toppings such as caramelized onions or chipotle mayo

Instructions

Step 1: Season the thinly sliced steak with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the steak for 1–2 minutes per side until cooked to your liking.
Step 2: While the steak is cooking, toast the bagel slices until they are golden and crispy.
Step 3: Whisk the eggs lightly, then cook them in butter over medium-low heat until they are softly set but still creamy.
Step 4: Add the cheese slices to the warm eggs or onto the steak to allow the cheese to melt.
Step 5: Assemble the bagel sandwich by layering the steak, eggs with melted cheese, and any optional toppings you prefer, such as caramelized onions or chipotle mayo.
Step 6: Serve the bagel warm and enjoy your delicious homemade breakfast.

Tips & Variations

Try swapping the steak for bacon or sausage for a different protein option.
Add sautéed vegetables like spinach or peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
Use your favorite type of cheese to customize the taste.
For a spicy kick, include a drizzle of hot sauce or chipotle mayo.

Storage

Store any leftover sandwich components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the steak and eggs gently in a skillet or microwave before assembling the bagel again to maintain the best texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I prepare this sandwich ahead of time?

You can cook the steak and eggs in advance and store them separately, but assembling the sandwich right before eating ensures the bagel stays fresh and the cheese melts properly.
