🥄 Texture

The toasted bagel gives a chewy, slightly crisp exterior while the interior remains soft. Creamy scrambled eggs and smooth avocado provide a rich, silky mouthfeel, with wilted spinach adding a tender, slightly fibrous contrast.

👃 Aroma

Warm, toasty notes from the bagel mingle with the rich, savory scent of cooked eggs and a mild, grassy green from the spinach. Olive oil adds a faint fruity, herbaceous background and ripe avocado contributes a subtle buttery fragrance.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Medium-roast coffee or fresh-squeezed orange juice; alternatively a lemon-mint iced tea pairs nicely.

🥗 Side Dishes

Roasted baby potatoes with rosemary; a simple mixed greens salad with lemon vinaigrette; or a fresh fruit salad (berries and melon) or Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts.

Instructions

Toast the bagel in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Set aside on a plate.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl.

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Crack both eggs into the pan and scramble them with a fork or spatula for 2-3 minutes until cooked through but still soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Slice the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh onto a cutting board. Slice into thin pieces.

Assemble the bagel: spread the scrambled eggs on the bottom half, top with wilted spinach, then layer the avocado slices. Place the top bagel half on top and serve immediately.
