Step-by-step instructions
Follow these clear steps to achieve a perfectly cooked, golden, and delicious bagel egg omelette sandwich.
Step 1: Toast the bagel
Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the bagel halves cut-side down and toast until golden brown.
Step 2: Pour the eggs
Whisk the large eggs in a bowl and pour the mixture evenly around and over the bagels. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for two minutes.
Step 3: Flip the omelette
Carefully slide a spatula underneath the entire egg and bagel base. Flip the whole thing over so the toasted bagels are now facing up.
Step 4: Make the spread
Mix the cream cheese and chopped fresh chives together in a small bowl. Spread this savory mixture generously over the toasted tops of the bagels.
Step 5: Add the toppings
Layer the smoked salmon slices neatly over the cream cheese spread. Top the salmon with the thin, fresh cucumber slices for a nice crunch.
Step 6: Fold the egg
Use your spatula to gently lift the outer edges of the cooked egg. Fold the egg sides up and over the bagel toppings to wrap them.
Step 7: Close the sandwich
Place the second toasted bagel half on top of the folded egg wrap. Press down gently to secure the sandwich and melt the cheese slightly.
Step 8: Slice and serve
Transfer the finished sandwich to a wooden cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice it cleanly in half and serve immediately while warm.
