Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 6 eggs
- 4 tbsp milk or cream
- 1-2 tsp salt (to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
Additional Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2-3 cups baby spinach
- 2 bagels, halved
- 1 cup grated cheese or 4 slices American cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the pan: Place a large frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the surface evenly to prevent sticking.
- Wilt the spinach: Add the baby spinach to the pan and cook just until wilted, stirring occasionally to soften and reduce volume.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the egg mixture over the wilted spinach and gently scramble, allowing a loose omelette texture to form as the eggs begin to set.
- Add the cheese: When the eggs are nearly cooked but still slightly soft, sprinkle the grated cheese or layered American cheese slices over the eggs and allow them to melt completely.
- Toast the bagels: While the eggs cook, toast the bagel halves until golden and crisp to add a satisfying crunch and warm base for the sandwich.
- Assemble the sandwich: Transfer the cheesy scrambled eggs and spinach onto the toasted bagel halves. Optionally, add extra fresh spinach or cheese for more flavor and texture.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy the sandwich hot for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can customize the cheese type based on your preference, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack.
- For a lower-fat option, use reduced-fat cheese and substitute milk instead of cream.
- Add herbs like chives or parsley for extra freshness.
- To make it vegetarian, ensure the cheese is free from animal rennet.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free bagels if desired.
