Bring back a breakfast favorite with this Copycat Chick-fil-A Chicken, Egg & Cheese Bagel recipe. Crispy chicken, a fluffy egg patty, melted cheese, and a toasted everything bagel come together for a hearty homemade breakfast sandwich that tastes just like the original.

This easy copycat recipe is perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch and lets you customize it just the way you like — with bacon, extra cheese, or your favorite sauce.

Ingredients

1 everything bagel like Thomas’ Bagels
1 chicken patty (Soules Kitchen) (or pick up a chicken patty from Chick-fil-A)
1 egg, scrambled and shaped into a patty (or use a ramekin sprayed with cooking spray and cook egg with chicken patty in oven)
1 slice cheese
1 slice bacon (optional)

Instructions

Cook the chicken patty according to the package directions (or warm your Chick-fil-A patty).
Scramble 1 egg in a skillet and shape it into a patty. Tip: For a perfectly round egg, spray a ramekin with cooking spray and cook it alongside the chicken patty.
Split the bagel and place the cheese on the cut side. Toast in the oven until the cheese is melted and the bagel is lightly crisp.
Assemble the sandwich: place the chicken patty on the cheesy bagel, then add the egg patty on top.
Add bacon if you want to kick it up. For the closest Chick-fil-A copycat version, skip the bacon.
Finish with your favorite condiment. I like Chick-fil-A sauce (from the restaurant or grocery store).

Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Closest copycat tip: Use an everything bagel, a crispy chicken patty, and keep the sandwich simple (skip bacon) to match the classic Chick-fil-A style.
Round egg patty hack: Cook the egg in a greased ramekin for a neat, restaurant-style egg patty that fits the bagel perfectly.
Cheese-toast method: Toasting the bagel with the cheese on top helps it melt evenly and keeps the sandwich from getting soggy.
Make it your way: Add bacon for extra flavor, or double the cheese if you like it extra melty.
Serving suggestion: Pair with fruit, hash browns, or a quick yogurt parfait for an easy breakfast plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make this taste most like Chick-fil-A?

Use an everything bagel, a crispy chicken patty, a simple egg patty, and melted cheese. For the closest copycat version, skip the bacon and use Chick-fil-A sauce.

Can I cook the egg in the oven or microwave?

Yes. For a neat egg patty, spray a ramekin with cooking spray and cook it until set. This makes a round egg that fits the bagel well.

What cheese works best on a chicken, egg, and cheese bagel?

American cheese melts smoothly and gives a classic breakfast sandwich feel. Cheddar also works if you want a sharper flavor.

Can I make this ahead for busy mornings?

Yes. Cook the chicken and egg ahead of time, then reheat and assemble on a freshly toasted bagel. Add sauce right before serving for the best texture.

What sauce should I use?

Chick-fil-A sauce is a favorite for this copycat breakfast sandwich, but any creamy sauce you love works—try honey mustard, mayo, or your favorite spicy sauce.
