Preparation
Heat 1½ teaspoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Arrange the bagel halves, cut sides down, in the melted butter.
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the bagel is very slightly toasted and softened. Transfer bagel to a plate.
Cook the ham slices in the same skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side until heated through. Arrange 2 ham slices onto each bagel half.
Heat remaining butter in the same skillet, then cook the eggs in the melted butter for about 3 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still runny. Gently flip the eggs and cook for about 1 more minute until whites are set.
Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Layer the eggs and American cheese slices onto 1 bagel half, then top with the second bagel half, creating a sandwich.
Place the bagel sandwich back in the skillet and cover with a lid, then heat for about 45 seconds per side until cheese is melted.
Transfer bagel sandwich to a plate, then drizzle with maple syrup. Serve and enjoy!
