Method
Bagel & Assembly
Toast and butter bagel
Slice the bagel horizontally and toast until golden and crisp (about 2–3 minutes in a pop-up toaster or 3–4 minutes in a 350°F / 175°C oven). Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on the cut sides while still warm.
Warm ham and melt cheese
Place the sliced ham on the bottom toasted bagel half. Heat briefly in a skillet over medium-low heat for about 30–45 seconds per side to warm through, or place under a broiler for 30–45 seconds. Top the warm ham with the shredded or sliced cheddar so it starts to melt while the eggs finish.
Eggs
Whisk eggs
Crack 2 large eggs into a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons whole milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until yolks and whites are fully combined and mixture is slightly frothy (about 20–30 seconds).
Cook scrambled eggs
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter and swirl to coat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Allow eggs to set at the edges for about 10–15 seconds, then gently push cooked portions from the edges toward the center with a silicone spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Continue folding and gently stirring until eggs are mostly set but still soft and slightly creamy — about 1.5–2.5 minutes total. Remove from heat just before fully firmed; residual heat will finish them.
