Steak Egg and Cheese Bagel Recipe

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 1 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sesame seed bagel
  • 3 oz ground beef (80/20)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 slice American cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter, divided
  • ¼ cup white onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • ½ tsp white wine vinegar

Method
 

  1. Stir together the 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp yellow mustard, and ½ tsp white wine vinegar until smooth. Refrigerate while you cook.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high. Cook the ¼ cup sliced onion in the dry pan for 2 minutes, then push aside. Press the 3 oz ground beef into a thin patty, season with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper, and sear for 3 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove the beef and onion and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Melt 1 tbsp butter, crack both eggs into the pan, immediately break the yolks, and season with the remaining ¼ tsp salt. Let the egg set for 1 minute, then fold it into thirds. Lay the American cheese slice on top in the last 30 seconds until melted, 2 to 3 minutes total.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter to the pan over medium heat. Place the bagel halves cut-side down and toast for 2 minutes until golden.
  5. Spread the sauce on both bagel halves, layer on the beef patty, onions, and cheesy folded egg, and serve immediately cut-side up.

Notes

The sauce gets noticeably better after a few minutes in the fridge, so mix it first and let it sit while you cook. If your bagel is on the thick side, give it an extra 30 seconds in the pan so the inside of the cut surface gets fully toasted rather than just warm. This recipe scales up easily for two people; cook the eggs separately so each one folds cleanly.
