Bagel Breakfast Sandwich – Two Ways

Posted on June 17, 2015 by Cooking for Students

A high quality portable breakfast is hard to come by. Breakfast is often a sit down meal that requires a fork and knife. Although true, there are really great ways to enjoy all that breakfast has to offer on the go. One of those is the bagel breakfast sandwich. When you have a whole wheat bagel and a few inexpensive ingredients all things are possible. Rather than providing you with one bagel breakfast sandwich recipe, how about two? One is simply ham, egg and cheese but lightly toasting the bagel and warming up the ham in a hot pan transforms plain deli meat into something more special. As for the second version, spinach is used along with bacon and cheese for all the college athletes out there. Continue on to learn how to make these two very delicious, quick and easy breakfast sandwiches.
