Donut Pan Egg Sandwiches

01Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Coat a 6-cavity donut pan with cooking spray and set aside.

2. 2

   Beat the eggs in a large bowl until fully combined with no visible egg whites. Season with salt and pepper. Distribute the egg mixture evenly among the prepared pan cavities, then scatter crumbled sausage and chives over each one.

3. 3

   Bake until the egg rounds are puffed and fully set, 10 to 12 minutes.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, halve the bagels and arrange them on a lined baking sheet. Lay a slice of cheese on one half of each bagel and bake until the cheese melts and the bagels are lightly golden, 4 to 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Use a knife to loosen the egg rounds from the pan, then place one round on each cheese-topped bagel half. Add hot sauce if desired and serve right away.
