Ingredients

18 eggs
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 cups cottage cheese
2 tablespoons chives (optional)
12 slices bacon
12 slices cheese
12 bagels
Oil spray

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper. Arrange the bacon slices in a zigzag “N” shape on the pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy. Remove and let cool.
Step 3: While the bacon is baking, spray another parchment-lined sheet pan generously with cooking spray.
Step 4: In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, then carefully pour the mixture into the prepared sheet pan.
Step 5: Sprinkle chives evenly over the egg mixture if using. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the eggs are set in the center. Let cool for a few minutes before cutting into 12 equal slices.
Step 6: Assemble the sandwiches by placing a slice of baked egg mixture on the bottom half of each bagel. Top with a slice of cheese, a slice of bacon, and then the top half of the bagel. Serve immediately or store for later.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture before baking.
If you prefer, substitute turkey bacon for a lighter version.
Use your favorite type of cheese, such as cheddar, Swiss, or provolone, to customize the sandwich.
Toast the bagels before assembling for added texture and flavor.

Storage

Store the assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a microwave or toaster oven until heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes. You can also store the components separately and assemble fresh as needed.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare the egg mixture without a blender?

Yes, you can whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, and seasonings together by hand until well combined, but blending helps create a smoother and fluffier texture.

Can I freeze these breakfast sandwiches?

Yes, wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

18 eggs
2 cups cottage cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons chives (optional)

Bacon & Assemblies

12 slices bacon
12 slices cheese (such as cheddar or American)
12 bagels
oil spray (cooking spray)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bacon and egg mixture.
Bake Bacon: Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper and place the bacon slices on it in a zigzag ‘N’ shape. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping the bacon halfway through to ensure even cooking. Remove and set aside to cool.
Prepare Egg Mixture Pan: While bacon bakes, spray another parchment-lined sheet pan generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Blend Egg Mixture: In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and pour carefully into the prepared sheet pan.
Add Chives and Bake Eggs: Evenly sprinkle chives over the egg mixture if using. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the center. Remove and let cool for a few minutes.
Cut Egg Frittata: Once cooled slightly, cut the baked egg mixture into 12 equal slices to match bagel servings.
Assemble Sandwiches: Slice bagels in half horizontally. Top the bottom halves with a slice of the cottage cheese egg mixture, a slice of cheese, and bacon. Place the top halves of the bagels on and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.

Notes

You can use any cheese of your choice such as cheddar, American, or Swiss for the sandwich.
For crispier bacon, bake closer to 40 minutes; reduce time for chewier bacon.
Make sure to spray the pan liberally with oil spray or use parchment paper to prevent the egg mixture from sticking.
These sandwiches store well in the fridge and can be reheated in a toaster oven or microwave.
Chives are optional but add a nice fresh flavor and color contrast.
