The image shows a sandwich on a white plate placed on a white marbled surface. The sandwich has four visible layers: the bottom is a poppy seed bun with sesame seeds, followed by a thick folded yellow egg layer, then a slice of marbled white and orange cheese, topped with crispy browned bacon strips, and finished with the top half of the poppy seed bun.

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). Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.

Step 2: Arrange the bacon on the lined sheet pan, folding each slice into a zigzag N shape for even cooking. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping the bacon halfway through. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Step 3: While the bacon bakes, prepare another baking sheet lined with parchment and spray it generously with cooking spray.
Step 4: In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

Step 5: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle chives evenly over the top if using. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the center.
Step 6: Allow the baked eggs to cool for a few minutes, then cut into 12 equal slices.
Step 7: To assemble each sandwich, place a slice of baked egg on the bottom half of a bagel, top with a slice of cheese and a slice of bacon, then cover with the bagel top. Serve immediately or store for later.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or fresh herbs like parsley to the egg mixture.
Use your favorite cheese variety, such as cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack, for a different twist.
Swap cottage cheese for ricotta or cream cheese if preferred for a creamier texture.

To save time in the morning, prepare the egg bake and bacon the night before and assemble sandwiches when ready to eat.

Storage

Store the assembled sandwiches wrapped in foil or airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or oven until warmed through. For longer storage, wrap sandwiches tightly and freeze for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
