The Daily Blagel: Maple-Bagel-Meat-Bun...

There are many things in this world created for the benefit of mankind. This bagel is not one of them; it’s a calorie filled breakfast combo that can and will destroy your diet. If you aren’t on a diet then this might put you on one. This has been sent to us for one purpose and one purpose only, to feed that fat kid inside us all.

Ingredients:

One cinnamon and raisin bagel – French toast style
One egg and a splash of milk – whisked and ready for the toasting
One rasher of bacon - cooked tender, not crispy
Two sausages - fried and sliced down the middle
A healthy handful of spinach
Lashings of maple syrup
Sprinkling of cinnamon

Construction:

Firstly crack the egg into a shallow dish/plate then add a splash of milk and whisk until mixed. Meanwhile begin heating up a frying pan. Slice your cinnamon and raisin bagel in half and commence dunking; ensure both sides are well soaked and that the mix has been absorbed completely.

Using the heated frying pan add some oil, throw in the two sausages and bacon and cook thoroughly (roughly 10 minutes), before removing from the pan and setting aside.

Now you need to cook the two bagel slices- this should take roughly the same time as cooking an egg sunny side up. Make sure the heat on the cooker is medium to high, add some butter to the frying pan – the oil from before should help to keep the butter from burning. Put the bagel into the pan and cook for a maximum of 1 minute each side, or until they are golden brown. Make sure that you take this opportunity to sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon onto the top of the bagel for some extra cinnamon-y goodness.

Once all the cooking is finished begin constructing your breakfast heart attack! I chose to include a handful of spinach just to make my arteries feel a bit better about the whole ordeal; before sticking the top on drizzle some maple syrup onto the spinach. Now top the bagel.....and drizzle some more maple syrup over the top.

Finally, sit back and admire your handy work as you brace yourself to release the inner fat child. You won’t regret it......probably.
