On the Go Breakfast Bagel
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for me. My husband can completely skip breakfast and pretty much forget to eat the rest of the day. I, on the other hand, simply cannot function until I've got food in my belly. Plus, breakfast foods are just too yummy to skip. Why else do we try to incorporate them into dinner too?
I would go into reasons why breakfast is such an important meal to eat, but I'm sure you've heard it all before. And, I realize that for those who work, go to school, or simply have a hectic day of errands, it can be hard to sit down and eat breakfast. But, have no fear there are plenty of grab and go options out there, including these quick and easy Breakfast Bagels.
There's definitely no need to go through a drive-through when these are on the menu. They take only a couple of minutes to whip up and are so very portable. The way they are cooked ensures they won't be a messy eat either.
Next time you know you or your family is going to have to rush out the door, set aside just a couple of minutes to package one of these up to ensure a healthy start to the day.
What are your favourite portable breakfasts?
Breakfast Bagel
- 1 bagel, sliced and toasted
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1/3 cup grated cheese
- 4 slices Smithfield Deli Thin Honey Ham
- mayonnaise, to taste
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Grease lightly. Crack eggs into skillet, making sure they are slightly overlapping. Immediately break yolks, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with green onions. Allow to cook until edges are set. Flip over and top with cheese and then ham. Cover and let cook until cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, spread mayonnaise over toasted bagel halves. Place cooked eggs, ham side up, on one bagel half. Top with other bagel. Cut in half if making two servings. Wrap in parchment paper for travel.
Serves: 1-2 (depending on the appetite)

That breakfast bagel looks so tasty! It actually is surprisingly easy to make quick breakfasts. Most of the time the biggest problem is getting in the habit of making breakfast. Once you get over that hump, easy breakfast treats will happen like second nature.
