Method
- Prepare the Bagels:

- Fry the Eggs:
- In a skillet, heat a bit of butter or oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness.
- Place slices of cheddar cheese on top of the eggs and cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Bagels:
- Spread a generous amount of Geeta’s lime chutney on each toasted bagel half.
- Place the cheesy fried eggs on the bottom halves of the bagels.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle the chopped chives over the eggs for a fresh, herbal note.
