Ingredients
- 2 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 large egg
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 1 bagel sliced
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 leaves green leaf lettuce rinsed and pat dry
- 1-2 slices tomato
Instructions
- Cook the bacon: Place the bacon in a cold skillet, making sure not to overlap the slices. Set the stovetop burner to medium-low. Cook the bacon for about 10 minutes, then flip it over. Cook for an additional 3 minutes and flip again. Continue cooking and flipping the bacon until it reaches your desired crispness. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.2 slices thick-cut bacon
- Fry an egg (optional): If desired, heat a small amount of butter, oil, or bacon fat over medium heat in the same skillet used to cook the bacon. Crack an egg into the skillet and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until the egg whites are fully set, about 2-3 minutes. For sunny-side-up eggs, remove the egg from the skillet at this time. If desired, flip the egg and cook for an additional 1 to 3 minutes. Once cooked to your desired doneness, transfer the egg to a plate.1 large egg, Kosher salt, Freshly cracked black pepper
