Time 21m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 miniature bagels (whole wheat or white)
1/2 cup butter
12 pieces bacon (fried crisp and cut in half)
12 eggs
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated (or your favourite kind)

Steps:

  • Slice each bagel in half.
  • Lightly butter each side.
  • To cook eggs, lightly grease a mug or small bowl or ramekin; beat eggs in that bowl and microwave 30 seconds; remove egg in one piece and repeat for remaining eggs. Or take Swan Valley Tammi's idea and pre-cook the bacon, chop it up and add it to the eggs. Pour into greased muffin tins. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes so all 12 egg/bacon 'patties' are done at the same time.
  • On the bottom half of the bagel place cooked egg.
  • Top each egg with approximately 1 Tablespoon grated cheese.
  • Stack bacon on top.
  • Complete sandwich with top of bagel.
  • Cool slightly; wrap in plastic wrap individually; place in a large labeled zipper freezer bag.
  • To serve, remove 1 bagel sandwich from bag and remove wrapping.
  • Place upside down in microwave and heat for 30 seconds.
  • Place right side up and microwave for 30 seconds more or until heated through. **Time may vary in your microwave**.

POTATO BAGEL BREAKFAST SANDWICHES



Potato Bagel Breakfast Sandwiches image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 11h5m

Yield 9 breakfast sandwiches plus additional bagels

Number Of Ingredients 20

12 ounces russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon brown sugar
6 cups high-gluten flour, plus more if needed and for dusting
1 tablespoon kosher salt
7 1/2 teaspoons barley malt syrup
Neutral oil, for the bowl
Nonstick cooking spray, for the parchment
1 tablespoon baking soda
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1 cup frozen hash browns, defrosted
2 ounces Swiss cheese, grated
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 large eggs
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce, if desired
9 slices Swiss or other cheese
9 slices Canadian bacon

Steps:

  • For the potato bagels: Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook until a fork pokes easily into the potatoes; begin checking for doneness at about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water in a medium bowl. Rice the potatoes and set aside.
  • Add 1/2 cup cool water to the bowl with the hot cooking water; the temperature of the water should even out to warm (105 to 110 degrees F). If it's too cold, microwave it a little; if it's too hot, let it sit for a few minutes to cool. Add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar, give it a little swirl and let it sit until foamy on top, about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, salt and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Add the mashed potato, yeast mixture and 4 1/2 teaspoons of the barley malt and mix to form a stiff dough. Knead in the stand mixer until smooth and slightly sticky, adding additional flour if the dough is sticking to the bowl or too sticky to handle, about 5 minutes (or turn out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for 7 to 10 minutes). Transfer to a large oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to bake, let the dough sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and divide into 12 or 16 equal parts, depending on whether you want larger or smaller bagels. Stretch each part into a smooth ball, making sure to seal any dough seams well. Shape the bagels by sticking your thumb through the center of each ball and using your fingers to gently stretch a 2-inch hole. Cover the bagels with a towel and let rise for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F; line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and grease them well with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the baking soda and remaining 3 teaspoons barley malt. Working with 3 or 4 bagels at a time so as not to crowd the pot, boil them for 1 minute on each side (use a timer for this). With a slotted spoon or spatula, lift them out of the water, allowing excess water to drip off, and then transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. (If making 16 bagels, you will likely need to bake a third pan of bagels, which you can do after the first 2 pans come out of the oven.)
  • With a serrated knife, make 3 cuts in a triangular shape on top of the bagels and dust them lightly with flour. Bake the bagels for 10 minutes, then switch racks, rotate the baking sheets 180 degrees and bake until golden brown, 5 to 8 more minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Set aside 9 of the bagels for making the breakfast sandwiches. Cool the remaining bagels fully, then transfer to plastic bags and freeze (slice them before freezing if you'd like, so you can put them directly from the freezer into the toaster). Reheat in the toaster.
  • For the baked eggs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and line with parchment paper so that wings come up 1 inch off 2 sides.
  • Sprinkle the hash browns in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the Swiss cheese in an even layer on top of the hash browns. Whisk together the milk, paprika, salt, eggs, some black pepper and a few shakes of hot sauce if using in a medium bowl. Gently pour the egg mixture over the cheese and hash browns.
  • Bake until the eggs are set, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes to allow the eggs to set further. Slice into 9 squares.
  • For the sandwiches: Slice the reserved 9 bagels in half. Sandwich one egg square between each bagel with a slice each of cheese and Canadian bacon. If not eating right away, wrap in parchment paper and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 1 minute, flip and heat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.

1-2 slice (s of bacon, cooked, drained, and cooled)
Pinch salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Toast the bagel in the toaster and set aside.
  • Crack the egg into a microwave-safe bowl that's roughly the same diameter of your bagel. Add the salt and pepper. Whisk until beaten well. Place in the microwave and cook on high for 60 seconds or until the egg is cooked through.
  • With a spoon, loosen the egg and place it on one half of the bagel. Top with bacon, if using, and cheese.
  • Top the bagel with the other half and place in a square of foil. Wrap well, label with a permanent marker, and place in a freezer storage bag. They should keep well for a at least a couple of months.
  • To heat and eat, remove sandwich from freezer and unwrap. Wrap a paper towel around the sandwich and microwave for about 45 seconds on high. Turn over and microwave for another 15 seconds until heated through. Microwave ovens vary, so yours may take less (or more) time. Be careful not to overcook.

Another recipe from the December 07' issue of Southern Living! Can't wait to make these for my kids!

Provided by my3beachbabes

Categories     Breads

Time 12m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 miniature bagels, split
6 tablespoons peanut butter
6 teaspoons strawberry jelly or 6 teaspoons grape jelly
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Spread peanut butter evenly on cut sides of bottom halves of bagels; spread jelly evenly on cut sides of top halves of bagels. Place top halves of bagels on bottom halves, jelly sides down.
  • Brush bagels lightly with melted butter; cook in a preheated panini press 2 minutes or until lightly browned and grill marks appear. Serve immediately.
  • Note: Sandwich may be cooked in a grill pan. Cook 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and grill marks appear.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Bagel: Select a bagel that is fresh and has a slightly chewy texture. This will ensure that your sandwich holds together well and doesn't get soggy.
  • Spread It On: Don't be shy with the cream cheese, butter, or other spread. A generous layer will help to keep your sandwich moist and flavorful.
  • Layer On the Ingredients: Start with a base layer of protein, such as sliced deli meat, eggs, or tofu. Then, add your favorite toppings, such as cheese, vegetables, and condiments.
  • Don't Overstuff It: Be mindful of how much you pile onto your bagel. Too many ingredients can make your sandwich difficult to eat and may cause it to fall apart.
  • Get Creative: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations. Try a bagel sandwich with peanut butter, banana, and bacon, or one with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and capers.

Conclusion:

Bagel sandwiches are a delicious and versatile breakfast, lunch, or snack option. With endless possibilities for fillings and toppings, you can easily create a sandwich that suits your taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, reach for a bagel and start building your perfect sandwich!
