Crispy Egg & Avocado Bagel

Toasted bagel topped with a crispy-edged fried egg, creamy avocado, and melted cheese—breakfast that feels indulgent but takes 12 minutes. The key is high heat for the egg and a hot bagel to keep everything from getting soggy.

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Split the bagel and toast it until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat butter in a small skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Crack the egg into the skillet. Cook without stirring until whites set but yolk still jiggles, 3–4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the avocado and layer it on the toasted bagel bottom, then season with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Slide the egg onto the avocado, then lay the cheese slice on top while the egg is still hot.

  6. Step 6

    Crown with the bagel top and serve immediately.
