On a good bagel the egg should be over medium, so the yolk soaks in instead of running out.

The real one
You need
- 2 everything or plain bagels
- 4 eggs
- 2 slices American or cheddar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 slices bacon or 2 oz feta
- Salt and pepper
- Optional: 2 tbsp mayonnaise with 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
How to make it
- Split and toast the bagels until the cut sides are crisp.
- Cook the bacon if using, then wipe the pan and melt the butter over medium heat.
- Fry the eggs two at a time, flip once the whites set and cook 30 seconds more for over medium. Lay the cheese (or crumble the feta) on top to melt.
- Spread the paprika mayo on the bagel, add the eggs and bacon, season and close.
Tips
- Toast the bagel well or the egg makes it soggy.
- Feta, paprika mayo and herbs is the Bagelsaurus way.
