Woohoo! It’s almost the freakin’ weekend! One of my goals this year is more self-care: slowing down, taking some time off, unplugging, etc. I’m trying to reserve Sundays for either flea markets or slow breakfasts with the morning paper and catching up on all my magazines and this Egg in a Hole Breakfast Bagel Sandwich is perfect for a slow Sunday morning! What’s great about these bagel sandwiches is that you can mix and match veggies, cream cheese, etc. and use up any veggies that may be leftover from the week! We do our meal planning and grocery shopping on Sundays, so it’s nice to use up anything leftover from the week before like that avocado that’s RIPE!

I made two at a time in my cast-iron skillet, but its a tight fit! And while I started them on the stovetop to grill the bagels, I had to finish them in the oven to cook the eggs because the bagels are so thick. I currently have an electric stovetop, so you may have better luck cooking with gas, but if not, just pop ’em in the oven to set the eggs.

And here’s the gratuitous runny egg shots:
