Bagel Egg Bake

Preheat oven to 425 F.

Lightly toast bagel halves in the toaster or using your preferred method (just a few minutes, until golden). Set aside.

In a bowl add eggs, cream and pepper and whisk well. In a frying pan, melt butter on medium heat. Once melted, soft scramble the egg mixture. When done to your liking, set aside.

In an 8″ x 8″ baking dish place the toasted bagels in a single layer. Add one slice of cheese to the top of each half. Scoop soft scrambled eggs on top equally dividing among the bagel halves. Add a thick slice of tomato to each, sprinkle each with panko or seasoned breadcrumbs. Place in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 5-6 minutes.

Remove from oven and plate. We love these with a side dish of melon. Scrumptious. Enjoy!
