sausage, egg and cheese bagels

this is another “food i miss from michigan” post.  mcdonald’s breakfast down here excludes sausage, egg and cheese bagels on its menu.  the only good reason to have mcdonald’s breakfast is to splurge, and i think the bagel is the best way to do it.

this recipe may be slightly healthier than mcdonald’s.  i can tell you that it is pretty darn delicious and is available after 10:30 a.m. :).

this recipe prepares two bagels.  you can adjust the recipe accordingly.

• 2 thomas bagel thins, toasted
• 2 slices of co-jack cheese, melted on bagels in toaster oven
• 6 oz. breakfast sausage (half a tube), quartered and formed into very thin patties, slightly larger than the bagel.
• 3 eggs
• salt and pepper to taste

1. cook the breakfast sausage patties until brown all of the way through. place on a paper-towel lined dish.
2. place bagels into the toaster oven, with cheese on one half.
3. whisk together eggs, salt and pepper.  place in medium sized frying pan and cook as if you are cooking an omelette, minus the filling and folding in half.
4. using spatula, cut the “omelette” in half. remove pan from heat.
5. place patty on bottom half of bagel, top with egg, folded into thirds and top bun.

enjoy!
