These fully loaded bagels are the perfect way to start your day properly. Piled high with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, gooey melted cheese, creamy avocado, tangy balsamic onions, and a good spread of cream cheese to bring it all together.

It's an easy but immensely flavourful breakfast that covers all the bases: savoury, salty, creamy, crunchy.

This breakfast is really straightforward to put together, but it tastes absolutely brilliant. The balsamic onions add a sweet and tangy element that cuts through the richness of the cheese and bacon nicely. The avocado brings a fresh, creamy texture that balances everything out, while the rocket adds a slight peppery bite. You don't need to be fancy about it, just layer everything up and you've got yourself a proper breakfast that'll keep you going all morning. The cream cheese on the bagel base works like glue, holding all the fillings in place while adding an extra layer of richness.

The key to getting this right is making sure each element is cooked properly before you start assembling. Get the bacon nice and crispy under the grill so it has that proper crunch. The onions need a bit of time in the pan to soften and caramelise slightly before you add the balsamic vinegar, which gives them a lovely sweet and sticky finish. For the eggs, scramble them gently in butter over a medium heat until they're just set but still soft. Nobody wants dry, rubbery eggs on their bagel.

Once everything's ready, it's just a matter of layering it all up on your toasted bagel. Start with the cream cheese, then add the rocket for freshness, followed by the bacon, eggs, onions, avocado, and finally the cheese slice on top. A quick minute or two under the grill melts the cheese to oozy perfection and warms everything through. Top with the other half of the bagel and you're done. This is the kind of breakfast that makes getting out of bed worthwhile.
