Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottom is lightly golden. Carefully flip the eggs over to cook the other side for about 1 minute.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan, or use any residual butter from cooking the eggs. Place the cut sides of the bagel halves down into the pan and toast until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
