Tasty Ingredients

• Everything bagel seasoning: Crunchy mix that brings bold flavor Go for one with both sesame and poppy seeds for that full punch
• Avocado: Silky feel and good-for-you fats A ripe one that just gives under your thumb is ideal
• Bagels—any you like: Crunchy outside, soft within Find a chewy, fresh bagel if you can for tastiest results
• Melty cheese like Swiss: Smooth, mellow and melts over everything Ask for freshly sliced cheese at the deli so it gets extra gooey
• Fried eggs: Protein-packed, runny if you want Crack a good egg for those golden yolks whenever possible

Simple Steps

Enjoy:

If you like, slice your sandwich in half and go for it while it's still warm The cheese and avocado really shine when melty and fresh

Assemble Everything:

Sprinkle seasoning right on top of the avocado Serve the eggs with their cheesy blanket on top Layer it all together and put the other half of the bagel on top Push it down so it holds

Get Avocado Ready:

Split the avocado open pop out the pit and scoop the inside into a bowl Mash it up with a fork so it's mostly smooth but you can leave a few chunky bits Spread that on the toasted bagel halves

Melt Cheese on Eggs:

About a minute before your eggs are finished cooking, drape a slice of cheese over the top Take the pan off the burner and let the cheese get oozy in all that leftover heat You want it to melt, not cook too much

Cook the Eggs:

Break your eggs into a hot pan with oil or butter and add a pinch of salt and pepper Let them set up just how you like the yolk Fried eggs help hold everything together and taste great layered in

Toast Those Bagels:

Cut the bagels into halves and get them crispy and golden in the toaster That toasty base makes all the toppings even better

Nothing beats that creamy avocado for me. It's always been my go-to, especially at brunch with my sister—we used to see who could stack the most avocado on ours without it tipping over!

Keeping It Fresh

If you're putting these together ahead, stash the mashed avocado in a separate container so it doesn't go brown. Stash finished ones in foil in the fridge, then warm them up in a hot pan for best texture. They'll taste best right after making, but will last in the fridge for a day.

Swaps and Options

Use gluten-free or whole wheat bagels depending on what you need. Any cheese works here—mozzarella for a mellow flavor, sharp cheddar for some extra zing. No bagel seasoning? Just shake on some sesame seeds or a dash of garlic powder and you're good.

Just grab your go-to gluten-free bagels, and you’re all set for a sandwich you can eat with no worries.
