Ingredients

  • 6 bacon slices
  • 2 cups Heinz baked beans 1 1/2 cans
  • 3/4 cup onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup half & half
  • butter or oil to scramble eggs
  • 2 bagels cut in half

Utensils/Equipment

  • Fry pan
  • Medium pan with cover

Instructions

  • Cook bacon in fry pan on medium heat. Be careful not to overcook, you want each slice of bacon to have some crisp, but not completely crispy.
  • Once bacon is cooked, remove from pan and drain on a paper towel and set aside.
  • On high heat, melt butter in pan with cover.
  • Lower heat to medium and add onion.
  • Toss until onion begins to absorb the butter and then add beans.
  • Mix thoroughly and then cover.
  • Lower to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes.
  • Crack eggs in a bowl and add half & half. Whisk thoroughly.
  • To scramble eggs, heat oil or butter in a pan (your preference)
  • Pour in egg mixture, wait until eggs begin to cook and solidify and the scramble to desired consistency and then set aside.
  • Remove flesh from bagels and then toast for 1 minute, just enough to warm and slightly brown them.
  • To serve, place bagels on a plate, then break bacon slices so they are able to fit inside the hollowed out space in the bagel, cover the base of the bagels completely.
  • Spoon the scrambled eggs on top of the bacon and then pour the beans on top.
  • Serve as suggested, with cheese and/or daytime cocktail.
