Step 1

Toast the bagel in the toaster and set aside.

Step 2

Crack the egg into a microwave-safe bowl that's roughly the same diameter of your bagel. Add the salt and pepper. Whisk until beaten well. Place in the microwave and cook on high for 60 seconds or until the egg is cooked through.

Step 3

With a spoon, loosen the egg and place it on one half of the bagel. Top with bacon, if using, and cheese.

Step 4

Top the bagel with the other half and place in a square of foil. Wrap well, label with a permanent marker, and place in a freezer storage bag. They should keep well for a at least a couple of months.

Step 5

To heat and eat, remove sandwich from freezer and unwrap. Wrap a paper towel around the sandwich and microwave for about 45 seconds on high. Turn over and microwave for another 15 seconds until heated through. Microwave ovens vary, so yours may take less (or more) time. Be careful not to overcook.
