Smoked Salmon, Egg and Spinach Bagel

Smoked Salmon, Egg and Spinach Bagel

It looks impressive and tastes amazing, but our smoked salmon bagels are so simple to make, which makes them perfect for a Boxing Day breakfast!

Smoked salmon is amazing for you. It reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke, cognitive decline, and age-related macular degeneration and helps protect against certain cancers, so we're always coming up with ways to include more of it in our diets.  

Many people go for a classic cream-cheese and salmon bagel, but we have a slightly healthier twist on this fan favourite.

All you will need is:

  • One bagel
  • Two eggs
  • Spinach
  • Smoked salmon

How-to:

  1. For your poached eggs, begin by boiling water in a pan. Swirl the water quickly (but carefully) and crack the egg into the water. Cook for 3-6 minutes, depending on how soft you like your egg. Repeat with your second egg.
  2. Cut upon and toast your bagel to your preferred colour!
  3. Cup up the spinach leaves into smaller strips.
  4. Plate up your toasted bagels, and add your eggs to each bagel slice.
  5. Sprinkle your spinach on top of your poached egg.
  6. Salt and pepper to taste.

Tips and tricks:

Poached eggs can be tricky, so if preferred, you can boil an egg for 5 minutes for a very runny yolk or up to 7 minutes for a barely-set yolk. Then run it under cold water or let it sit in an ice bath to stop the egg from cooking!
