Bagel Bennies

20 min

6 servings

The kind of breakfast sandwich you eat with a knife and fork. These are one-egg bennies—for a hungrier crowd, use two. The foolproof sauce can be made in the microwave or stovetop. It makes about 1 1⁄2 cups of sauce.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water, divided
  • 6 eggs
  • 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 pkg Hollandaise Sauce Mix
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 6 small bagels, split & toasted
  • 6 slices (1 oz/28 g each) of low-sodium turkey or ham
  • 3 cups baby spinach

Preparation

  1. Fill six Prep Bowls with 1⁄2 cup cold water each. Crack one egg into each bowl. Partially cover each bowl with lid. If your microwave is equipped with a turntable, place bowls on the edge of the turntable; avoid crowding the middle for even cooking. Microwave until yolk is set to your liking, about 3 min for a medium poach or jammy yolk. Carefully remove bowls from microwave. Using a spoon, place eggs on a plate lined with paper towel or kitchen towel.
  2. In a 4-Cup Prep Bowl, melt butter, uncovered, on high, 40–60 sec. Whisk in sauce mix and 1 cup water until well combined. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 1⁄2 min, stirring halfway through.
  3. To serve, thickly slice tomatoes. Place bagels on plates. Divide tomatoes, turkey, and spinach on bottom halves of bagels. Place one egg on each bagel half. Drizzle at least 2 tbsp sauce over top. Sprinkle with pinches dip mix, if desired, and cover with top halves of bagels.

Tips

Feeding a crowd? Poach eggs using the Muffin Maker. It’s hands off, the eggs are ready at the same time, and it frees up the stovetop. Preheat oven to 350° F. Place two Muffin Maker trays on two separate Sheet Pans. Fill each well with about 1 tbsp water; crack 1 egg into each well. Bake, rotating halfway through, until whites are set and yolks are still a little jiggly, about 20 min. Remove from oven and let stand 1–2 min to finish setting. Using a spoon, gently loosen eggs and remove from wells, tilting to drain excess water.
