Hearty breakfast sandwich with steak, eggs, cheese, and toasted bagel for flavorful mornings.

# Ingredients Needed:

→ Bagel and Cheese

01 - 4 plain bagels, halved
02 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for toasting)
03 - 4 slices American cheese

→ Egg Mixture

04 - 4 large eggs
05 - 2 tablespoons whole milk
06 - Salt, to taste
07 - Black pepper, to taste
08 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or vegetable oil (for cooking eggs)

→ Steak

09 - 8 ounces shaved ribeye or sirloin steak
10 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
11 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
12 - ½ teaspoon onion powder
13 - ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
14 - Salt, to taste
15 - Black pepper, to taste

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shaved steak and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
02 - In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture and scramble gently until just set but still moist. Divide into four equal portions.
03 - Halve bagels and toast them using a toaster or in a skillet brushed with butter until golden brown and crisp.
04 - Place one slice of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bagel. Top with scrambled eggs, then add the cooked steak evenly over the eggs. Cover with the top half of the bagel.
05 - Optionally, warm the assembled sandwiches in a skillet or oven at low heat for 1 to 2 minutes to melt the cheese. Serve immediately.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - For enhanced flavor, use thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak and avoid overcooking the eggs to keep them fluffy.
