Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the whole wheat bagels in half and place them on a baking sheet.
In a bowl, beat the egg whites until slightly frothy. Add the cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the spinach leaves to the pan and sauté until they wilt, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Back to the bowl with the egg white mixture, fold in the spinach leaves.
Spoon the mixture evenly onto each bagel half, spreading it out to cover the surface.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture on each bagel half.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the egg mixture is set.
Remove the bagels from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm.
