Ingredients

  • INGREDIENTS
  • • 2 bagels, halved
  • • extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • • ⅓ cup grated parmesan
  • • 3 tablespoons basil pesto
  • • 2 eggs
  • • kosher salt and black pepper
  • • 2 cups rocket
  • • 1 avocado, diced
  • • ¼ cup fresh dill
  • • juice from ½ a lemon
  • • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • • chilli flakes

Instructions

METHOD
1. Make sure the bagel’s hole is approximately 2cm wide. Use your fingers to pull the hole bigger or cut the hole bigger, if needed.
2. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the top bagel half, cut side facing up, to one side of the pan. To the other side, sprinkle half of the cheese in a circle the size of your bagel. Spoon half of the pesto over the cheese. When the cheese melts, about 1 minute, flip the bagel, cut side facing down, onto the cheese.
3. Crack 1 egg into the bagel hole. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the whites are set, but the yolk is still runny, 6 to 8 minutes, or to your preference. Toast the remaining bagel half.
4. In a bowl, toss together the avocado, rocket, dill, lemon, sesame seeds, chilli flakes, and salt. Serve with the bagel. Add bacon for extra protein.
