Directions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cook the Sausage: In a pan over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Set aside.

Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Scramble the eggs in a separate pan over medium heat until fully cooked. Set aside.

Prepare the Bagels: Slice the bagels open and lay them flat on a baking sheet.

Assemble the Bagels: Evenly divide the scrambled eggs and cooked sausage between the bagel halves. Sprinkle both cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the top.

Bake: Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown.

Serve: Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a minute, then serve and enjoy your warm, cheesy breakfast bagels!
