Pear Apple Cheddar Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese Bagel Sandwich

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 heaping handfuls arugula
• 2 eggs, sunnyside up
• 2 everything bagels, toasted
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese, or cheese of choice
• 1/2 ripe apple, sliced
• 1/2 ripe bosc pear, cored and sliced
• 4 tablespoons fig preserves

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the sliced onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to sweat and turn translucent, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle liberally with sea salt, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden-brown and caramelized, about 45 minutes more.
2. Preheat the oven to the high broil setting.
3. Slice the bagels in half and place them on a baking sheet. Toast on the top shelf of the oven under the broiler until golden-brown, about 1 minute. Remove bagels from the oven and add a slice of cheddar on all four slices of bagel. Place back in the hot oven until melted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Smear 1 tablespoon of fig preserves over each cheesy bagel slice.
5. Top the bagel bottoms with wilted arugula, sliced apple, pear, caramelized onions, and a sunny side up egg. Place the bagel tops on top, slice in half and serve.
