Ingredients

  • 1 bagel Use your favorite bagel!
  • 2 large eggs + 1 egg white optional
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 slice cheese Colby jack, monterey jack, american and cheddar all go really great with eggs
  • Optional: bacon sausage, avocado, condiments, etc.

Instructions

  • Lightly toast the bagel and set aside.
  • Heat a small skillet over low heat. Coat the pan with butter or oil.
  • Once hot, add the eggs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over low heat, whisking every so often, until scrambled to liking.
  • Scoop scrambled eggs onto the bottom half of the bagel. Top with the sliced cheese, then the top half of the bagel.
  • Microwave just long enough to get the cheese melted (if desired), slice in half and enjoy!

Notes

Scrambled eggs can be prepped in advance and reheated when ready to enjoy– a small batch or larger batch depending on how many you plan to eat. Just cook, allow scrambled eggs to cool completely then store in an airtight container.
When stored properly in an airtight container, scrambled eggs can last for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. To avoid bacteria growth, it's recommended to refrigerate them soon after cooking (after cooling completely first), as per FDA guidelines.
Do I enjoy meal prep scrambled eggs by themselves? Not particularly, but throw them in a sandwich and they are something! Same with the microwave scrambled eggs.
 
Other options for cooking the eggs to throw into the bagel sandwich: 
Sheet pan baked eggs - great to meal prep, can customize (add spinach, peppers, bacon, etc.)
Microwave scrambled eggs - one bowl, less dishes, easier clean up
