Description
Creamy, deli-style breakfast sandwich layered with seasoned cottage cheese, fluffy eggs, and buttery avocado on a toasted everything bagel thin. High protein, quick to make, and totally satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 whole wheat bagel thins or English muffins
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1 slice cheddar cheese (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Stir cottage cheese and everything bagel seasoning together in a small bowl until creamy and well combined.
- Toast bagel thins (or English muffins) until crisp at the edges so they can hold the fillings.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low; coat with cooking spray. Add eggs and cook to your preferred style (scrambled or fried). Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Spread the seasoned cottage cheese evenly over the warm toasted bagels. Layer on the hot eggs, then the avocado slices. Add cheddar if using.
- Close the sandwiches, slice if desired, and enjoy that melty, crunchy first bite!
Notes
- For super-creamy scrambled eggs, cook low and slow and pull them off the heat just before fully set.
- Season avocado with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper or a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors.
- Make-ahead: mix the cottage cheese spread and pre-slice the avocado; cook eggs fresh for best texture.
- Variations: add hot sauce, smoked salmon, or sautéed spinach/mushrooms; swap in gluten-free bagels if needed.
