Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and allow it to warm up for about 10 minutes.

Bake the Bacon: Arrange the bacon strips on a baking tray and place them in the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the bacon becomes crispy.

Prepare the French Toast: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole egg, milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Cut the bagel into halves.

Fry the Bagel: Heat a small amount of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Dip each bagel half into the egg mixture, ensuring the bread is fully coated. Once coated, place it in the hot pan. Toast the bread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until light golden brown. Repeat with the second slice.

Assemble the Sandwich: Remove the bread from the oven. Place sliced tomatoes over one toasted bagel slice. Layer with crispy bacon strips, followed by chopped arugula. Season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
