Instructions 🔥
- Cook the Steak
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak slices with salt, pepper, and optional spices like onion powder or garlic powder. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside. - Scramble the Eggs
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and scramble, stirring gently until fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Toast the Bagels
While the eggs are cooking, slice and toast the bagels until lightly golden. - Assemble the Sandwiches
On the bottom half of each bagel, layer the cooked steak slices. Top with scrambled eggs and a slice of cheese. Close with the top half of the bagel. - Melt the Cheese (Optional)
For a melty, gooey finish, place the assembled bagels on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts. - Serve and Enjoy
Serve your homemade Steak, Egg, and Cheese Bagel hot and fresh for a breakfast that rivals the fast-food favorite.
