Lita's Kickin' Breakfast Sandwich

I'm not much of a morning person so I normally don't make anything too expansive outside of a bagel and a bowl of cereal; however, one morning I decided to make breakfast (more like brunch) sandwiches for my boyfriend and I. They were fantastic! My boyfriend and I loved them so much I made them for us again in the same week (with his assistance of course because he's hard to kick out of the kitchen). The second time around my boyfriend added sriracha hot chili sauce just to give it that extra final kick (which I highly recommend if you love spicy food like we do). Without further ado, here's the recipe!


 Recipe for two:

 2 eggs
 1 cup of milk
 handful of Shredded cheese (add more if needed)
 Paprika or Cayenne Pepper
 Garlic Powder
 Onion Powder 
 Crushed Red Pepper (optional)
 2 slices of Pepper Jack Cheese
 2 Whole Wheat Bagels
 3-4 Bacon slices (optional)

 Get a plate and layer it with 2 paper towels. Set aside. Heat a medium size frying pan (spraying with cooking spray of course). Once
 heated, add bacon slices. After the bacon is fully cooked, place it between the two paper towels on the plate. Meanwhile the bacon is
 cooking, in a small bowl combine eggs, milk and shredded cheese. Add in spices. In a small frying pan over medium heat, pour in egg
 mixture. Once the bottom of the egg mixture begins to soildify, flip one side over onto the other then break it up into smaller chunks  (essentially...scrambled eggs). Before the eggs are fully cooked start toasting your bagel. After the bagel has been toasted, put a slice
 of cheese on the bottom half of the bagel; this will craddle the eggs so they don't go through the bagel during consumption. Add eggs
 then bacon and voila! You got yourself a sandwich!


 Substitutions: Not everyone likes or has the stomach for spicy food like I do, so here are some milder substitutions that I'd
 recommend.

 - Cheddar for Pepper Jack
 - Chili Powder for Paprika and Crushed Red Pepper
