Slice the low sodium whole grain bagel in half and lightly toast it to your preference.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Cook the low sodium turkey bacon slices in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until crispy. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Using the same skillet, crack the egg into the pan and season with a pinch of black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the yolk reaches your desired level of doneness.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh from half of the avocado. Mash it gently with a fork in a small bowl.
Slice the tomato into thin, even slices.
To assemble the sandwich, spread the mashed avocado evenly over the cut sides of the toasted bagel.
Place the fresh spinach leaves on the bottom half of the bagel, followed by the sliced tomato.
Add the cooked turkey bacon slices and then place the cooked egg on top.
Finish by topping with the other half of the bagel. Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium bagel sandwich with egg and bacon.
