Tips for making the best High-Protein Breakfast Bagel
To make sure your High-Protein Breakfast Bagel turns out perfectly every time, here are a few helpful tips:
Use a Non-Stick Pan: A non-stick skillet is key to cooking the eggs evenly without them sticking to the pan. This also ensures you can flip the eggs with ease and keep everything intact as you layer your bagel.
Whisk the Eggs Well: For fluffy eggs, make sure you whisk them thoroughly before cooking. This incorporates air into the eggs, which helps them cook up light and airy. Adding a pinch of salt and pepper before whisking can enhance the flavour.
Cook Eggs on Medium Heat: Cooking the eggs on medium heat gives you more control over the texture. If the heat is too high, the eggs may cook too quickly and become rubbery. Keep the heat moderate to ensure a smooth, soft texture.
Directions
- Heat a pan over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the pan, swirling it to cover the surface of the pan evenly.
- Place the bottom half of the bagel in the centre of the pan, on top of the cooking eggs. Let the egg cook for a few minutes until the edges start to set.
- Carefully flip the egg and bagel over, folding the overhanging edges of the egg onto the bagel.
- Spread cottage cheese on the bagel and layer with spinach leaves and avocado.
- Once the bottom of the bagel is toasted to your liking, place the top half of the bagel on top. Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!
