How to Make It
Get ready for a mouthwatering breakfast with these easy steps.
Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for melting cheese.
Cook sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
Scramble eggs
In a bowl, beat the eggs and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour into a non-stick skillet over medium heat and scramble until just set, around 3-4 minutes.
Assemble bagels
Slice the bagels in half and lay them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs on each bagel half.
Sprinkle cheese
Top each bagel with equal parts of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, ensuring every piece is generously covered.
Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly brown.
How to Store It
Fridge: store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: yes, for longer storage.
Reheat: bake in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
