    This Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Bagel Sandwich will have you excited to get out of bed in the morning. Perfectly toasted bagels are layered with crispy breakfast sausage, egg and veggie scramble, and melty cheese.

    I’ll be honest…normally breakfast is not my friend. Why? Well first, it’s early. Who likes anything when it’s early? Second, it’s usually sugary and sweet, and not at all what I want first thing in the morning. And third, it’s not usually meat…which as we know is my kind of thing.

    Well, this Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Bagel has turned me into a breakfast on the go person. And I’m not talking fast food here! These easy breakfast bagels come together as quickly as you can scramble an egg (and fry up some sausage), and it will leave you full all day long. These flavor bomb sandwiches are protein-packed, energizing, and so dang good.

    What you need:

    • Sausages – I use tomato basil sausages but feel free to use whatever zesty flavor you love.
    • Olive Oil – you’ll need a little bit of oil to brown the sausages and sauté the veggies.
    • Veggies – I use a simple combination of red pepper, green pepper, and onion. Feel free to add other veggies too if you like!
    • Eggs – I like to scramble the egg with the veggies to create an all-in-one scramble.
    • Cheese – use your favorite melty cheese! Try cheddar, Swiss, pepper jack, Havarti, provolone, American, gouda, you name it.
    • Bagels – you can use whatever bagel you like best!

    How to make this Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Bagels

    Heat a cast-iron skillet, slice the sausage into ¼”-thick pieces, and cook until brown on both sides. Set aside and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. 

    Add oil to the same skillet, then add in the veggies and cook until tender. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add to the skillet and scramble. Remove from heat. 

    Place the bagel bottoms on sheets of aluminum foil. Top with scrambled eggs and veggies, then sausage and cheese. Top with the other half of the bagel, wrap in foil, then place in the toaster oven and toast until the bagel is softened and the cheese is melty.

    Breakfast is served.

    How to cook eggs for a breakfast sandwich

    I like to scramble the eggs with the veggies for convenience, but if you prefer to fry your eggs and add them separately you can totally go that route too!

    Variations

    • Use bacon. Looking for a little extra crunch? Try adding crispy bacon! Who doesn’t love extra meat for breakfast?
    • Sausage patties also work (go full on Jimmie Dean)
    • Add avocado. Sliced avocado is a delicious addition to this breakfast sandwich.
    • Use other veggies. You can easily cook more veggies with the onion and pepper to bulk it up even more. I love adding mushrooms, scallions, or spinach.
    • Spice it up. Love a kick of heat? Drizzle the bagels with hot sauce or Sriracha!

    Can these breakfast bagels be prepped ahead of time?

    Honestly, I don’t recommend it. Once the sandwiches are assembled, they are best right away!

    However, if you want to get ahead a little bit, you cook the veggie and egg scramble and fry up the sausage and store them separately in the fridge. They will last for up to 5 days. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply assemble the sandwiches and toast wrapped in foil. Keep in mind, they will take a little bit longer to cook through since the scramble and sausage will be cold.

        I looked at a banana yesterday and thought of you… Then I ate a cookie and realized fruit and coffee just weren’t for me (though I really really wish they could be. 10 times more healthy)

      Geez, we’re so alike. I am not a fan of sweet breakfasts, and definitely not early ones. This, however, this I embrace with my entire girl carnivore heart. It looks amazing.

      And now I want these for lunch. I so rarely make myself breakfast for actual breakfast. Dinner or brunch on the weekends yes but rarely on the weekdays.
