Instructions

1. 1

   Toast your sliced bagel in a toaster or on a skillet with butter until golden brown and slightly crisp.

2. 2

   Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Sear the slices 1–2 minutes per side until lightly browned but still tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. 3

   Reduce the heat to medium. Crack the egg into the same skillet, cooking until the white is set but the yolk is still slightly runny, about 2–3 minutes. Flip if you prefer a fully cooked yolk. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Place the cooked steak on the bottom half of the toasted bagel, add the egg, then top with a slice of cheese. Close with the top half of the bagel.

5. 5

   Return the sandwich to the skillet for 30–60 seconds, pressing gently, until the cheese starts to melt. Serve immediately.
