Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole high protein bagel
- 1 large egg
- 1 cheddar cheese slice
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Instructions
Slice the high protein bagel in half and toast it until golden brown.
In a small non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the baby spinach and sauté for about 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Crack the egg into a bowl, season with salt and black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
Add butter to the same skillet over medium heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Cook the egg by gently stirring with a spatula, ensuring it remains soft and creamy, forming a sort of scrambled egg. Cook for about 2-3 minutes.
Place the cheddar cheese slice on top of the egg in the skillet so it starts to melt slightly. Turn off the heat.
On the bottom half of the toasted bagel, layer the sautéed spinach followed by the melted cheese and scrambled egg.
Place the top half of the bagel over the fillings. Press gently and slice the bagel sandwich in half if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your high protein breakfast bagel.
