"This is one of my favorite breakfast recipes to make on a lazy Sunday morning, although it comes together very quickly. I recently discovered Thomas' Bagel Thins, which work perfectly for this recipe. They are nice and thin, but any type bread of your preference would work too."

What a delicious breakfast this made. I scaled back to 1.5 serves and used 2 medium eggs and served on wholemeal English muffin halves as I could not purchase bagels. Wasn't till I had finished eating I realized I forgot to put the onion on and I didn't use the optional capers from choice. Thank you JackieOhNo! for a wonderfully delicious breakfast.

Lovely recipe. I used a sesame seed coated bagel. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag. :)

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
