Ingredients
Method
Pico
- In a small bowl, mix tomato, jalapeno, and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Store the pico in the refrigerator until ready to use on the bagel.
Bacon
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Arrange the bacon slices on the lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
- Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Sausage
- Divide the sausage mixture into four equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a patty that's slightly larger than the bagel.
- To a medium skillet over medium heat, add oil. Once hot, cook the sausage patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are browned on one side. Flip the patty and cook for 3-4 more minutes, or until cooked through. (Pork sausage is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.)
- Transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease. Add a slice of cheese to each patty.
Eggs
- With paper towels, wipe out the same skillet and place over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the tablespoon of butter. Once melted, fry each egg to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
Assembly
- Spread 1 tablespoon of cowboy butter on each half of bagel.
- To the bottom half of a bagel, add one piece of sausage with cheese, 2 slices of bacon, one fried egg, and about a tablespoon of pico. Top with the bagel top and enjoy immediately! Repeat with the remaining bagels.
