Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 6 oz thinly sliced steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bagel and Eggs
- 1 bagel, sliced and toasted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1–2 slices American, cheddar, or provolone cheese
Optional Toppings
- Caramelized onions
- Chipotle mayo
Instructions
- Season and Sear Steak: Sprinkle the steak with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 1–2 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Toast the Bagel: Slice the bagel in half and toast it until golden brown and crisp, either in a toaster or on a pan.
- Cook the Eggs: Whisk the eggs together. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly set but still creamy.
- Melt the Cheese: Add the cheese slices to the eggs or lay on the steak immediately after cooking to allow the cheese to melt from the residual heat.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Layer the seared steak, cooked eggs with melted cheese, and any optional toppings such as caramelized onions or chipotle mayo on the toasted bagel halves.
- Serve: Serve the sandwich warm and enjoy a delicious and hearty breakfast.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning on the steak to your taste preference.
- You can substitute the steak with other proteins like bacon, sausage, or turkey.
- Add vegetables such as sautéed peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use your preferred cheese type – American, cheddar, or provolone all work well.
- Optional toppings like caramelized onions or chipotle mayo add an extra layer of flavor but can be omitted.
