👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Start by cooking beef bacon, turkey bacon or regular bacon until nice and crispy.
- 2
In a bowl, add eggs, parmesan cheese, and seasonings.
- 3
Blend cottage cheese until smooth and add it in to make the eggs fluffy and increase protein.
- 4
In a pan on medium heat, spray a bit of oil and add enough egg mixture to cover the pan.
- 5
Let it cook, then fold the sides towards the middle, flip it, and repeat to create eight fluffy egg pockets.
- 6
Toast a low-carb bagel, add some hot sauce, one egg pocket, cheddar cheese, and three slices of bacon.
- 7
Repeat for the other seven breakfast bagels.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Blend cottage cheese for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth to eliminate grittiness - lumpy cottage cheese will create uneven protein distribution and texture breaks in your eggs.technique60-90 seconds
- ✓Cook your egg mixture at exactly medium heat (275-300°F pan surface) because higher temps will cause the cottage cheese proteins to seize and create rubbery curds instead of fluffy texture.technique275-300°F
- ✓Use a 2:1 ratio of whole eggs to cottage cheese by volume - this maximizes protein (cottage cheese adds 14g per ½ cup) while maintaining proper egg structure for folding.ingredient2:1 ratio
- ✓Cook bacon to internal temperature of 145°F and drain on paper towels for 2-3 minutes before assembling - excess grease will make bagels soggy and reduce crispness contrast.timing145°F, 2-3 minutes
- ✓Toast bagels to golden brown (internal temp 200°F) before adding hot ingredients - this creates a moisture barrier that prevents sogginess from steam condensation.technique200°F internal
