Ingredients
Scale
- 4 High-protein or whole-wheat bagels (sliced)
- 1 cup Whipped cottage cheese or Greek yogurt cream cheese
- 8 slices Thin-cut deli turkey or Canadian bacon
- 4 Large hard-boiled eggs (sliced)
- 1/2 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Everything bagel seasoning (optional)
- Fresh spinach leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Bagel Base. Start by slicing your high-protein bagels in half. If you prefer a crunchier texture, lightly toast them before adding any toppings. Lay the bagel halves flat on a clean workspace or a large baking sheet. This assembly-line approach makes the process move much faster when preparing multiple servings at once.
- Step 2: Layer the High Protein Fillings. Spread a generous tablespoon of whipped cottage cheese or Greek yogurt cream cheese onto each bagel half. This provides a creamy base packed with protein. Layer two slices of deli turkey or Canadian bacon on the bottom half, followed by the slices of one hard-boiled egg. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and a pinch of everything bagel seasoning over the top to lock in the flavor.
- Step 3: Secure and Store for Make-Ahead. Place the top half of the bagel onto the assembled base. Press down firmly to ensure the ingredients stay in place. Wrap each bagel tightly in parchment paper or aluminum foil. If you plan to eat them within three days, store them in the refrigerator. For longer storage, place the wrapped bagels in a freezer-safe gallon bag and freeze for up to one month.
