Ingredients

  • 2 Bagels
  • 4 tbsp Pesto (homemade or store bought)
  • 4 tbsp Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • 1 tbsp Chopped Chives (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat a large nonstick pan to medium heat. Slice bagels in half horizontally and spread pesto on the inside of both sides of each bagel.
  • Place 1 tbsp of shredded parmesan in a thin layer about the size of the bagel around the pan spaced about an inch apart, repeat this 4 times to create a square. Let the cheese cook and crisp up for a minute. Place a half bagel on each cheese pile pesto side down. Cook for a minute to let the bottom crisp up.
  • Crack 1 egg in the hole of each bagel slice. The whites may run out off of the sides of the bagel, try and get the yolk in the hole. Season to taste with salt and pepper and cover with a lid. Continue to cook the bagels until the whites are no longer opaque and the yolk is cooked to the desired doneness. I cooked mine for 5 minutes for a runny yolk.
  • Plate and top with chopped chives if desired and ENJOY!
