Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F) and lightly oil a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, beat the 8 eggs together with the salt and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add the 400 g cottage cheese to the eggs and mix until smooth.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Egg mixture looks evenly blended with cottage cheese. Break up larger curds as you stir for a more even bake.

  4. 4

    Stir in the diced green pepper and diced garlic cloves, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Pour the egg‑cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into an even layer.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The mixture is spread to an even thickness across the tray. Level the surface so it sets at a similar pace throughout.

  6. 6

    Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture is set and lightly golden on top.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The center is set and the top is lightly golden. Check the middle before cutting portions.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, then cut the bake into square portions.

  8. 8

    To assemble each bagel sandwich, slice the bagel in half, place a tortilla slice on the bottom half, add a cheese slice, drizzle a small amount of zero‑sugar BBQ sauce, top with a square of the egg bake, and close with the top half of the bagel.

  9. 9

    If serving immediately, reheat the assembled sandwich in the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese melts; for take‑away, reheat in an air fryer for 3–4 minutes before eating.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cheese has melted and the sandwich is warmed through. Reheat until the filling is hot before eating.
