- 3.Scramble your eggs with salt and pepper. Cook them in a small pan so you can fold them into a square shape that fits the bagel.

The Story
“My preference is a toasted everything bagel, but onion or plain work great too. The trick is cooking the scrambled eggs in a small enough pan that you can fold them into a square that fits the sandwich. Once they're almost done, put a slice of American cheese on top, add a splash of water to the pan, and cover with a lid — the steam melts the cheese perfectly. For sausage, I always go with ground sausage over pre-formed patties. Take the ground sausage and form it into a circle-shaped patty yourself — it tastes better and fits the sandwich better. Wrap these in foil and they travel great.”
