My Mexican Breafast Bagel Recipe
My breakfast bagel recipe isn’t the least bit authentic but it’s really good nonetheless. I call it a Mexican breakfast bagel because I make it with a Mexican style cheese like Manchego and add jalapeno to it. It is a great quick breakfast and you should have everything you need on hand to make it.
Mexican Breakfast Bagel. Tasty!
Ingredients:
- 1 Bagel
- 1 Egg
- 2 or 3 slices of ham
- White melting cheese – grated (I like Manchego)
- Canned jalapenos – Used canned jalapenos when you make your bagel. They come packed in vinegar which adds a lot to the flavor of the bagel.
- Mayonnaise
Step 1 - Cook Your Egg – Beat an egg in a small flat bottomed bowl or Pyrex dish then cook the egg in the microwave for 1 minute to 1 minute and 30 seconds. The time all depends on your microwave. The trick to cooking an egg in the microwave is to cook it until it is just cooked through – any longer and it turns into an egg flavored hockey puck. You might have to sacrifice an egg or two until you find the correct cooking time.
Step 2 – Toast your bagel - Make sure the bagel is well toasted.
Step 3 – Assemble the bagel – Spread a small amount of mayonnaise on each half of your bagel. Place the cooked egg on the bottom half of the bagel. Then add the ham slices. Sprinkle grated cheese over the ham until covered. Add as much jalapeno as you can stand. Put the top on the bagel.
Step 4 - Warm the Sandwich – Place the completed bagel in the microwave for about 30 seconds just long enough to melt the cheese and heat the bagel through – no more or the bagel will turn rubbery.
Step 5 – Enjoy your Mexican Breakfast Bagel!
