Egg sandwiches are one of the very best breakfast options. They’re undeniably tasty, oh-so satisfying, and don’t require a lot of effort or ingredients. Plus, between the bread (or bagel or biscuit!), meat, veggies, cheese, and condiments, the different sandwich combinations are nearly endless.

This snapshot will guide you through making five crave-worthy egg sandwiches, including a fun twist on a classic BLT and a loaded bagel breakfast sandwich. And because mornings are not the time for anything complicated, each one comes together with just five basic ingredients.

Bagel Breakfast Sandwich

Cook 2 slices bacon in a medium cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toast 1 split everything bagel until light golden-brown. Spread 3 tablespoons herb cream cheese evenly over the cut sides of the bagel.

Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 1/2 tablespoon of rendered bacon fat. Whisk 2 large eggs and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium bowl.
