Ingredients
- 4 bagels
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 4 slices of prosciutto
- 4 slices of Italian salami
- 1 ½ tbsp salted butter
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp chili paprika
- A few sprigs of fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). For faster results, use a fan oven or air fryer.
Prepare the Garlic Butter
- Blend together the following:
- 1 clove of garlic (minced)
- 1 ½ tbsp of salted butter (softened)
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp chili paprika
- A pinch of salt
- A handful of fresh parsley (chopped).
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Bagels
- Slice the bagels in half and spread the garlic butter evenly on each half.
- Layer each bagel with:
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese
- 1 slice of Italian salami
- 1 slice of prosciutto.
Add the Eggs
- Create a small indentation or hole in the center of the prosciutto on each bagel.
- Crack an egg carefully into each hole, letting the whites spread slightly. (Don’t worry if some spills over—it adds character!)
Bake the Bagels
- Sprinkle each assembled bagel with a pinch of chili paprika and salt.
- Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 13–16 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the prosciutto is golden and crispy.
Garnish and Serve
- Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool for 2–4 minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of flavor.
