This high protein breakfast bagel recipe combines fluffy scrambled eggs with creamy cottage cheese and melted cheddar, all sandwiched inside a toasted plain bagel. Ready in just 15 minutes, it’s a satisfying and nutritious start to your day packed with protein and flavor.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup egg whites
  • 0.5 cup cottage cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Other

  • 2 plain bagels, sliced
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt evenly. This sets the stage for gentle cooking of the eggs.
  2. Mix the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a creamy texture.
  3. Cook the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the warm skillet and let it cook gently without stirring initially, to form soft curds.
  4. Scramble gently: Stir slowly as the eggs begin to set, cooking until they are just set and still soft to retain a creamy consistency.
  5. Add cheese: Place the cheddar cheese slices over the cooked eggs and allow them to melt fully while still in the skillet, enhancing richness.
  6. Toast the bagels: Meanwhile, toast the plain bagels until they are lightly crisp to provide a satisfying crunch.
  7. Assemble and serve: Fill each toasted bagel with the cheesy scrambled egg mixture and serve warm for a delicious, protein-packed breakfast.

Notes

  • Use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese to reduce fat content if desired.
  • For a different flavor, swap cheddar for your preferred cheese like Swiss or mozzarella.
  • Serve with fresh veggies or fruit on the side for a balanced meal.
  • Leftover egg mixture can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free bagels.
