Step 1
Slice the bagel in half and toast it until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Crack in 1 egg and cook until the white is set and the edges are crispy, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Flip the egg, lay 1 slice of cheddar on top, and cook until the cheese melts and the yolk is still runny, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Place the egg-cheese stack on the bottom bagel half, top with 1 handful of arugula, and close with the top half. Serve warm.
Step 5
If you like, add a dash of hot sauce or black pepper before closing the sandwich.
