Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 everything bagels
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 8 strips turkey bacon
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Slice bagels in half. Toast in toaster or air fryer at 375F for 3 minutes until golden. Keep warm.
  2. Cook turkey bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes per side until crispy. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Whisk eggs with cottage cheese, salt, and pepper for 30 seconds until completely smooth.
  4. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Add egg mixture. Stir slowly for 3 to 4 minutes until just set but glossy. Sprinkle cheddar on top and pull from heat.
  5. Place arugula on the bottom half of each bagel. Top with avocado, a quarter of the eggs, and 2 strips of bacon.
  6. Cap with bagel top. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Notes

Blend cottage cheese into the eggs for an extra 8g of protein per sandwich. Cook eggs on medium-low for the fluffiest scramble. Toast the bagel so it holds up to the wet ingredients.
