Ingredients
Scale
Bagel and Spread
- 1 everything or plain bagel, sliced
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or garlic aioli (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Steak and Cheese
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced cooked steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 slice American or cheddar cheese
- Cooking spray or oil for pan
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs with 1 tablespoon of milk or cream, adding a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently until just set. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- Heat the steak and melt the cheese: In the same skillet, add the sliced cooked steak and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until warmed through. Reduce the heat to low, place a slice of American or cheddar cheese over the steak, and cover briefly to allow the cheese to melt.
- Toast the bagel: While the cheese melts, toast the bagel halves until golden brown. If desired, spread mayonnaise or garlic aioli on one or both bagel halves for added flavor.
- Assemble the sandwich: On one bagel half, layer the cheesy steak followed by the scrambled eggs. Top with the second bagel half to complete the sandwich.
- Serve warm: Serve the sandwich immediately while warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sauté sliced onions or bell peppers with the steak before adding cheese.
- Use bagel thins for a lighter option.
- Swap regular eggs with egg whites and use low-fat cheese to create a leaner, lower-calorie version.
