Bacon, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Bagels Recipe

These bacon, egg and cheese bagels are my perfect "indulgent" but relativey quick breakfast. Everything gets fried in the the juices from the smoked rashers, including the bagels which get quickly toasted in the pan at the end!

Ingredients

4 Rashers Smoked Back Bacon (Thick Cut)
2 Large Eggs
2 Pinch Salt
2 Pinch Black Pepper
2 Slices Swiss Cheese
1 Large Beef Tomato
2 Bagels
2 tablespoon Cooking Oil
2 tablespoon Sweet Chilli Sauce

Instructions

Cut the beef tomato into 3-4mm (⅛") rounds, across the tomato. You will need 3 slices per bagel.
Slice the bagels.
Heat a 30cm (12") frying pan over a medium high heat with a splash of the cooking oil.
Using some scissors, make little cuts in the rind of the bacon around 1cm (½") apart, and place it in the pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked to your liking.
Snipping the rind prevents the bacon from curling up.
Remove the bacon and transfer it to the oven to keep warm. *see note below*
Return the frying pan to the heat, add the remaining cooking oil and cook the eggs to your liking, adding salt and pepper as you cook them.
I like nice runny yolks and a crispy frilly "skirt".
This means a slightly hotter temperature; if you are not a fan of a crispy base, lower the temperature a little.
Remove the eggs, and drain a little of the fat from the pan.
Return the pan to a high heat and toast the bagels, cut side down, in the bacon fat. This will take around 90 seconds.
Build your sarnie, I start with the sliced tomato (seasoned with salt and pepper), then add the Swiss cheese, at this point I like to blast the cheese with a blow torch to melt it a little. This only takes 30 seconds.
Then add the bacon, fried egg and a squeeze of sweet chilli sauce.

Notes

I like to preheat an oven to 120°C or 250°F before I start to keep the bacon warm whilst I prepare the rest of the sandwich.
