Serves: me | Total Time: 15 minutes till it’s ready
Ingredients
- 1 thin-sliced everything bagel round, toasted
- 1 (2-ounce) breakfast sausage patty, cooked
- 1 (1-ounce) slice American cheese
- 1 Perfect Scrambled Egg
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
Instructions
- Lay the bottom of the bagel on your cutting board or clean work surface. Top with the sausage patty, cheese slice, and scrambled egg. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the filling with the top of the bagel.
- The hot egg and sausage will melt the cheese and keep everything warm enough to eat right way.
- If you have an extra couple of minutes, you can wrap the sandwich in aluminum foil, wax paper, or parchment paper and keep it warm in a warming drawer or oven set on 250°. This will allow the flavors to combine and soften the bread, making it an even better egg sandwich.
It’s easy to cook everything in one skillet. Start with the sausage. Smush the patty until it’s thin and about 3⁄4 the size of the bagel round. Place it into a skillet over medium heat. Cook, flipping once until it’s no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes. Use the same skillet to cook the eggs. Now, you only have one skillet to clean.

The Heart of the Table
There is a profound sense of self-care in taking the time to properly assemble a breakfast sandwich just for yourself. The alchemy of wrapping it in foil and allowing the residual heat to soften the bread and meld the flavors is a small, brilliant culinary secret that elevates a humble morning staple into a true estate luxury.
Neighborly Grace

- THE POUR: A simple, steaming mug of strong black coffee is the timeless and undisputed champion for a breakfast sandwich.
- THE VIBE: Focused and restorative. This is the meal you make when you are gearing up for a productive morning or recovering from a lively evening.
