High Protein Breakfast Bagels

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 100 g cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp chilli oil
  • Handful of fresh coriander chopped
  • 7 8 cherry tomatoes chopped
  • ½ red pepper diced
  • ½ yellow pepper diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 bagels halved
  • 4 slices mature cheddar cheese
  • Ketchup to taste

Instructions

Prep the egg

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (fan).
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, chilli oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir in coriander, tomatoes, and peppers.
  • Pour into an oven-proof dish and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and just set.

Cool and slice

  • Let the egg bake cool for 5 minutes.
  • Slice into 4 equal portions.

Assemble the bagels

  • Lightly toast bagel bases if desired.
  • Add a squeeze of ketchup.
  • Top with a slice of baked egg, then cheddar cheese.
  • Place the bagel lid on top.

Store or serve

  • Wrap each bagel in parchment paper.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.

Reheating options

  • Air fryer (best texture): Cut bagel in half, place in air fryer at 180°C for 10 minutes (from fridge). If frozen, defrost overnight before reheating.
  • Microwave (quick option): From fridge, heat for 1–2 minutes until warmed through. From frozen, microwave for 3–4 minutes, pausing halfway to check and avoid sogginess.
