Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole grain bagel
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ounce feta cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 red bell pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the whole grain bagel in half and toast until golden brown.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the beaten eggs to the skillet with the peppers and cook, stirring gently, until scrambled and just set.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the baby spinach, cooking until it wilts, about 1 minute.
Crumble the feta cheese into the egg mixture, stirring until it begins to melt.
Place the toasted bagel halves on a plate, and divide the egg, vegetable, and cheese mixture evenly over each half.
Serve immediately while warm.
