Breakfast bagels
22nd May 2018After my quest to up my breakfast game, here is the recipe for my breakfast bagels.
They’re pretty straight-forward to make (I’m no Paul Hollywood and I managed no problem!), and they are quick and easy to heat & eat in the morning.
Adding the filling: scrambled egg, cheese, ham and spinach
You could really fill them with almost anything. Watch out for some alternative fillings in the next few weeks!
The finished article
Make up the pizza dough as per the packet instructions. You can also start from scratch if you're confident with bread and yeast - but I used the pre-mixed packets, which already have the yeast and touch of olive oil added.
While the dough is proving, scramble the eggs in a frying pan and then set aside. Spray some 1 cal spray onto 2 baking sheets.
Separate the dough into 8 equal-sized balls. Roll one out into a thin circle then top with a few spinach leaves and an eighth of the ham, grated cheese and scrambled egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and then fold over all four sides, ensuring your parcel is completely sealed. Repeat with the other 7 and place the balls - seal side down - onto the baking sheets to rest for 15 minutes.
Bring a large pan of water to a rolling boil and then carefully drop 4 of your bagels in for 1 minute. Flip them over after 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and make sure they are drained before placing them back on the baking sheet. Give the tray a few more sprays if necessary. Repeat with the other 4 bagels.
Sprinkle the bagels with a pinch of mixed seeds and then place in a pre-heated oven at 180C for 15 minutes or until they're golden brown and there's no soggy bottom.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately or allow to cool and then refrigerate for up to 48 hours or freeze. In the morning, just pop one in the microwave for a minute and your breakfast is sorted!
