Avocado Egg Bagel (Printer-Friendly Layout)

Golden bagel hugs creamy avocado, stretchy cheese, and a hearty fried egg. A super satisfying start to any morning.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 1 ripe avocado
02 - 2 slices Swiss cheese or whatever cheese you like, try cheddar, provolone, gouda, mozzarella, or pepper jack
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 2 bagels, whichever kind you like (plain, everything, onion, whole wheat, your pick)

→ Seasoning

05 - Oil or butter, just enough for the pan
06 - Black pepper, sprinkle to your taste
07 - Salt, throw in what tastes good to you
08 - Everything bagel seasoning, sprinkle as much as you want

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Dig in right away while it's warm and melty, so you get all those great crunchy, creamy, cheesy bites.
02 - Spread your mashed avocado over both bagel halves. Top that with everything seasoning. Stack on your cheesy eggs, then slap on the other bagel half and press it together gently.
03 - Cut the avocado in half, take out the pit, and scoop out the inside. Mash it up with a fork until it’s as chunky or smooth as you want.
04 - Lay a cheese slice on each egg just before you're done cooking. Cut the heat so the leftover warmth melts it nicely. Cover with a lid to help things along if you want.
05 - Pour a bit of oil or a dab of butter in your non-stick pan, get it warm over medium. Crack the eggs in, toss on some salt and pepper, and cook till the whites aren’t wiggly and the yolks are as runny or firm as you like.
06 - Slice the bagels in half and pop them in a toaster or warm skillet until they’re as crunchy and golden as you want them.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - Switch out your bagels for gluten-free ones if you want to skip the gluten.
02 - If you prefer, go with poached or scrambled eggs instead for a change in texture.
03 - Try a bunch of cheese types to find one that melts and tastes how you like.
04 - You can make your own everything bagel blend with onion powder, garlic powder, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and some salt.
