Directions

Cook the Bacon
Start with a cold pan set over medium heat. Lay in your bacon slices and cook until golden and crispy, or to your preferred level of doneness. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
Toast the Bagel
While the bacon cooks, slice your bagel in half. Toast it in a pan, toaster, or air fryer until golden and slightly crisp. Place the bottom half on a plate, ready for assembly.
Prepare the Eggs
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In the same pan used for the bacon (wipe out most of the fat but leave a little for flavor), pour in the eggs.
Let them cook undisturbed until about 80% set — you should have a soft omelet layer.
Fold the Omelet
Use a spatula to fold two opposite edges toward the center, then fold the remaining sides to form a square shape. Remove from heat when just cooked through.
Assemble the Sandwich
On the toasted bottom half of the bagel, layer the hot crispy bacon and your slice of cheese. Gently place the warm folded omelet on top.
Finish It Off
Spread cream cheese on the top half of the bagel, drizzle with sriracha or your favorite hot sauce, and sprinkle chopped chives over the omelet.
Close the sandwich with the cream-cheese-coated top half.
Rest and Serve
Let it rest for 3–5 minutes so the cheese slightly melts and flavors come together. Slice in half if desired — then dig in and enjoy.

*Notes :

Always start bacon in a cold pan — it renders fat evenly and crisps perfectly.
Don’t overcook the eggs; they’ll keep cooking from residual heat after folding.
For extra flavor, toast your bagel in butter on a pan, not in a toaster or air fryer — it gives a golden, rich crust and extra depth of flavor.
Want a spicy kick? Add a few chili flakes into your eggs before cooking.
