Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 beef steak patty
- 1 large egg
- 2 slices american cheese
Bread:
- 1 bagel (plain or everything)
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 leaf lettuce
- 2 slices tomato
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or griddle to medium-high heat, around 375°F, ensuring an even cooking surface for the steak patty.
- Season the beef patty generously with salt and black pepper on both sides, creating a flavorful base for the sandwich.
- Place the seasoned patty onto the hot skillet, cooking for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until a deep brown crust forms and the meat reaches desired doneness.
- While the patty cooks, slice the bagel in half and lightly toast both sides until golden and crisp.
- In a separate pan, melt butter and crack the egg, cooking it sunny-side up or over-easy, depending on personal preference.
- Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the toasted bagel, creating a creamy foundation for the sandwich.
- Apply mustard over the mayonnaise layer for an extra tangy kick.
- Once the steak patty is cooked, immediately place American cheese slices on top, allowing them to melt slightly from the residual heat.
- Layer the melted cheese-topped patty onto the prepared bagel bottom.
- Carefully position the cooked egg on top of the cheese-covered patty.
- Add fresh lettuce and tomato slices for a crisp, refreshing element.
- Crown the sandwich with the top half of the bagel, pressing gently to meld all ingredients together.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately while ingredients are warm and cheese is still melty.
Notes
- Customize spice levels by adjusting salt and pepper quantities on the beef patty for personal heat preferences.
- Select high-quality, fresh ground beef with moderate fat content to ensure juicy, flavorful steak patties that won’t dry out during cooking.
- Consider using whole wheat or gluten-free bagels to accommodate dietary restrictions while maintaining sandwich integrity.
- Experiment with alternative cheese options like sharp cheddar or pepper jack for enhanced flavor complexity beyond traditional American cheese.
