Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F) and lightly oil a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, beat the 8 eggs together with the salt and black pepper until well combined.
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.
Stir in the diced green pepper and diced garlic cloves, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
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.
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.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, then cut the bake into square portions.
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.
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.
