Are you one of those people who repeatedly hit the snooze button, dreading the thought of getting out of bed early in the morning? The good news is that you can still enjoy a delicious and effortless breakfast without sacrificing precious sleep. Egg in a Bagel Hole is a simple and delicious breakfast dish made by placing an egg inside a hole cut into a bagel and then cooking it until the egg is set and the bagel is toasted.
Ingredients Overview:
*You can cook fewer or more bagels; just adjust the number of eggs and toppings.
Bagels: Homemade bagels are great, but store-bought is the easiest route. Cut the bagels in half. Make the center of each bagel half at least 2 inches wide (to hold the egg). Make them gluten-free by swapping in your favorite GF Bagel.
Everything bagel seasoning: You can purchase everything bagel seasoning from many grocery stores and online retailers. However, you can use salt pepper if you don’t have access to the seasoning or prefer to skip it for any reason.
Eggs: An egg for each half of the bagel.
Toppings (completely customizable): Shredded cheese, crumbled Feta, chopped mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, chili flakes, and fresh herbs.
How to Make Egg in a Bagel Hole
- Prepare the bagels: Slice them into half and cut out the center of the holes using a small biscuit cutter or a knife to make them larger.
- Spread/brush with butter: Brush the cut sides of the bagels with the softened butter and place them cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- Crack an egg into the center of each bagel hole.
- Season the egg with everything bagel.
- Bake
- Serve while warm.
FAQs
If you don’t have any bagels on hand, you can use sliced bread. Simply cut a hole into your slice of bread with a cookie cutter and follow all the directions as you would for a bagel.
