Scrambled Egg Bagel

One food I struggle to give up whilst dieting are bagels, the toppings are endless and they work well whether it’s for breakfast, lunch or just a great snack. Eggs are a great source of protein so scramble two eggs and top it with some cherry tomatoes for flavour.

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

·         Bagel

·         2 eggs

·         Low fat Milk (optional)

·         Cherry tomatoes

·         Parsley

Cooking

1. Whisk 2 eggs, and milk (optional) in a bowl. Once whisked add this to your frying pan and use a fork to separate, stir to create scrambled eggs.
2. Wash and slice your cherry tomatoes add this to your pan.
3. Allow your eggs and cherry tomatoes to fry for 5 minutes
4. Slice your bagel and top your bagels with your finished scrambled eggs, sprinkle some parsley to finish.
5. Optional: Toast your bagel, and top with some olive spread

Smoked Salmon Bagel

In less than 5 minutes this filling healthy lunchtime meal can be made. Salmon is a great source of protein; so if you struggle to incorporate your daily protein requirements into your diet then try this lunch time meal. Salmon also contain iron which is vital as the mineral it contains allows your blood cells to supply your tissues with oxygen which is a fundamental process to help support your metabolism. Although bagels are not the perfect alternative to bread itself you can make wiser choices and buy whole-wheat bagels compared to white bagels, also I have used a 3% fat soft cheese, rather than something of full fat.  I would love to eat fresh salmon everyday but I know that this option can end up becoming very pricey; however I managed to find smoked Salmon slices for only £1.99 in Morrison’s, great purchase!
