Hey-oh! Welcome to New York baby! Tell me something…do you ever read a blog to kind of vicariously live in a cool city? I’m on a major New York bender at the moment, people. I’m reading ALLLLL about the Big Apple.
And I love to read food blogs, because they’re written by people who care about the same things I care about, like eating…end of list. And I first heard about this delicious deli staple on one o’ my favourite NYC blogs (and blogs in general) Grilled Cheese Social. OK, so Mackenzie’s recipe is pretty different to mine, but that was my inspiration.
This is the kind of thing that travels really surprisingly well. Bacon, egg, cheese in a bagel, wrapped in paper and foil will stay warm for a CRAZY long time. So if you’re ever driving somewhere early in the morning, these are the ultimate road-trip treat. But even if you’re not going anywhere, you really should wrap these babies and let them steam for a while anyway.
Because it’s when the cheese melts and everything sort of melds together that this bagel starts to get really delicious. Also, if you want to make your own bagels like I did, this is my favourite recipe – it’s super easy and it works erry time.
Sorry for the short post today, but I’m working on something crazy huge at the moment, which I shall tell you about soon! I’ll meet you in New York and we can talk all about it, OK?
xx Sarah.

Ha I totally live vicariously in so many other cities…..and on that note, if you”re ever interested in vancouver….;)
An egg and cheese bagel is welcome at my breakfast table any day! And I’m with you, New York is tops. *dreamy sigh*

This is sheer perfection — one of my favorite brunch indulgences ever. I can’t wait to hear all about your big news!!!!! Yay Sarah!
WHAT is your big news??!!?!? i can’t wait to hear!! and um, can i order one of these to go please?!?! :)
I LOVE bagel sandwiches…thank you for deciding for me what’s for brunch this morning ;)
I love how simple and down-home this is. sometimes recipes with crazy ingredients are fun, but i love ones that go back to the basics.
If I could have this every morning, I think I’d pretty much consider my life complete lol! Love street food mondays, makes me want to travel!
Love it!
When I’m in a rush, I toast an english muffin, scramble an egg and put it in the microwave (in a ramekin) for 40 seconds and sandwich it with a slice of cheese. Just wrap in a paper towel and you’ve got an easy egg sandwich to go!
PRO TIPS! Love it!
