Toasted Bagel with Egg, Avocado & Arugula

Crispy toasted bagel piled with a fried egg, creamy avocado, melted cheese, and peppery arugula—a gourmet breakfast sandwich that feels fancy but takes 15 minutes. The arugula salad on the side adds freshness and crunch to every bite.

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toast the bagel halves in a toaster or oven until golden and crispy, about 3–4 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small skillet over medium. Crack the egg into the pan and cook until whites set but yolk still jiggles, ~4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    While the egg cooks, toss arugula with a pinch of salt, pepper, and half the lemon juice.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the avocado and squeeze the remaining lemon juice over it to prevent browning.

  5. Step 5

    Place the cheese slice on one toasted bagel half. Top with the fried egg.

  6. Step 6

    Layer the avocado on top of the egg, then cap with the second bagel half. Serve immediately with the arugula salad on the side.
