Breakfast: Masala Egg with Cheese on Toasted Bagel


This morning, I decided to build something hearty, savory, spicy, and warm for breakfast. I decided on an egg sandwich and did a few things to make it a little special. First, I got out a bagel and split it, some American Cheese, and some crushed tomatoes. I seasoned all of that with garam masala, salt and pepper, before putting all that in the oven for 5 minutes at 300° Fahrenheit.

Then I cooked an egg in an egg pan, covered on very low heat for 5 minutes, checking intermittently. I scrambled and seasoned the egg with garam masala, salt, and pepper as well. When it was done, I topped the cheese with the egg.

After bringing the sandwich together, I cut it so that it was easier to manage. The tomato was warm, a bit spicy and savory. The egg was clean, still a bit soft due to the low heat, and added a nice bit of protein. The cheese acted as a de facto sauce, creamy and cooling. The bagel was soft on the inside, but had a satisfying crunch on the outside. All told, the sandwich is about 450 calories, and a very delicious way to spend them.
