Bagel Tok! 3 mouthwatering breakfast bagel ideas
Sweet or savoury, these TikTok breakfast bagel sandwich ideas will make you drool.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but eating oats and eggs on toast 365 days a year can get boring.
Enter, breakfast bagel sandwiches!
Bagels are popular in countries like Poland, America, and Canada, but they aren't a staple breakfast food in Africa.
The good news is you don't have to fly to New York City to get the best bagels.
You can buy bagels at your local grocery store and add delicious toppings for a breakfast fit for a queen—a bagel queen.
We found three recipes on TikTok worth trying.

Millionaire bacon and egg bagel
Love bacon and eggs? This bacon, egg and cheese bagel will be your new favourite breakfast.
The secret ingredient is in the "millionaire bacon," aka candied bacon. Each strip of thick bacon is coated in a mix of brown sugar, black pepper, and red pepper—you can also use cayenne pepper—and then baked to caramelised perfection.
TikToker @eatwithcrista used an air fryer.

There is a method to the madness as far as this bagel is concerned.

Chop, chop, chop!
Mix everything together and place it on your bagel.
Easy-peasy! TikTok's @chefdwightsmith has the right idea.
