Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich, New York City Deli-Style
  • yield Makes 1

Ingredients

  • 1 everything bagel, or other bagel of choice

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for buttering bagel

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 thin slice cheese, such as American or cheddar

  • 2 to 3 slices cooked bacon

  • Hot sauce and/or ketchup, for serving

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Slice bagel in half. Butter cut sides of each half and toast in a toaster oven or on a griddle (if using a pop-up toaster, butter halves after they are toasted).

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat a cast-iron or nonstick skillet. Add butter to skillet. Carefully crack both eggs into skillet. When whites begin to set, immediately puncture yolks.

  3. Step 3

    Top one egg with cheese and bacon. Place remaining egg, yolk-side down on top of bacon (like an egg-on-egg sandwich). Transfer eggs onto one toasted half of the bagel; top with remaining bagel half and lightly press together. Serve immediately with hot sauce or ketchup, or wrap halfway in parchment paper or aluminum foil for a portable breakfast.

    My grandson loved this repeat show, he is 7, and determined to cook like Martha and Lucinda. He is a bacon and egg boy!

    In NY we call this the "Fat Girl Special". Not served on a bagel but a kaiser roll, along with a smear of butter on the top inside of the roll. Yumm!

    I think this is the wrong recipe for this one... I clikced on the Pantry Salad which I thought was the sallad made with bacon and collard.
