High Protein Breakfast Bagels! Only 470 Calories! 🍳🥓🥯

Ingredients

• 32 slices Beef Bacon (Crisp; can substitute turkey bacon or short‑cut bacon)
• 8 pieces Large Eggs (Room temperature)
• 8 pieces Egg Whites (Can use liquid egg whites from carton)
• 1 cup Low‑Fat Cottage Cheese (Blend until smooth)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan Cheese (Finely grated)
• 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 spray Cooking Spray (Use a non‑stick spray or a light coating of oil)
• 8 pieces Low‑Carb Bagel Thins (Can use regular bagels if preferred)
• 8 slices Cheddar Cheese (Sharp or mild, sliced)

Instructions

1. Cook the Bacon

   Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange the bacon slices in a single layer, and bake until crisp, about 12‑15 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: 400°F

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 8 whole eggs and 8 egg whites. Add the cottage cheese, then blend with an immersion blender or food processor until completely smooth. Stir in the grated Parmesan, onion powder, and garlic powder; whisk once more.

   Time: PT5M

3. Cook Egg Pockets

   Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray. Pour enough egg mixture to just cover the pan (about 1/4 cup). Cook for 2‑3 minutes until the edges set, then fold the edges toward the center to form a pocket and flip gently. Cook another 1‑2 minutes until fully set but still fluffy. Repeat until you have eight pockets.

   Time: PT10M

4. Toast the Bagel Thins

   While the egg pockets finish, toast the bagel thins in a toaster or under the oven broiler until lightly golden, about 1‑2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 350°F

5. Assemble the Bagels

   Place a toasted bagel thin on a plate, add one egg pocket, a slice of cheddar cheese (it will melt from the hot pocket), and four slices of the cooked bacon. Top with the second bagel half, pressing gently.

   Time: PT5M

6. Wrap and Store

   Wrap each assembled bagel tightly in plastic wrap or place in a freezer‑safe bag. Label with the date and freeze. To reheat, microwave for 45‑60 seconds or toast from frozen until heated through.

   Time: PT2M
