Directions:
1. Heat broiler in oven.
2. Using a circular cookie cutter or sharp knife, enlarge the center hole in the each bagel to about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Discard cutouts.
3. In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion and garlic. Cook until mixture begins to soften and onions begin to turn light golden brown. Remove mixture from skillet and set aside.
4. Using the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
5. Dip cut-side of each bagel in the warm bacon fat in the skillet, coating completely. Place bagels on a baking sheet, cut-side up, and broil in oven until golden, watching carefully that they don’t burn. Remove from oven and cover with foil to keep warm.
6. Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk vigorously until smooth. Add cooked onion mixture and stir to combine.
7. In a medium skillet, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium low heat. Add egg mixture. Cook to desired firmness, stirring frequently.
8. To serve: Place 1 bagel half, cut side up, on each plate. Spoon eggs into the center hole of the bagels, dividing evenly between the plates. Crumble one piece of bacon over each serving of eggs. Top with a small dollop of pesto and serve immediately.
