Today, I’m sharing a recipe that has quickly become a morning favorite of mine — Egg in a Bagel Hole with Asparagus. It’s the kind of breakfast that makes you want to jump out of bed!

I’m all about easy, one-pot breakfast ideas that not only save time but also pack in the flavor. While pondering what to make with a bagel, an egg, and some fresh asparagus, I crafted this amazing dish. The simplicity of combining these ingredients blew me away. It’s truly a highlight of my morning routine now. 😍 The creamy yolk, the crunchy toasted bagel, and the tender asparagus — every bite is a delight!

Asparagus, a true herald of spring, isn’t just delicious — it’s also filled with nutrients and adds a vibrant touch to any dish. Its crisp texture and slightly sweet, earthy flavor complement the creamy and rich egg yolk perfectly, making this breakfast not only balanced but also indulgent.

1. Rich in Nutrients: Asparagus is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6, as well as folate, iron, copper, calcium, protein, and fiber.
2. Heart Health: High in fiber and low in cholesterol, asparagus can improve your heart health by reducing the risk of heart disease.
3. Natural Diuretic: This spring vegetable contains high levels of the amino acid asparagine, which serves as a natural diuretic, helping to flush excess fluid and salt from your body.
4. Mood Booster: The high levels of folate in asparagus can help maintain your mental well-being, preventing an excess of homocysteine in the body, which can block blood and nutrients from reaching the brain.
5. Digestive Health: Thanks to its high fiber content, asparagus helps promote a healthy digestive tract and prevent constipation.
6. Antioxidants: Asparagus is loaded with antioxidants, which combat free radicals and may help slow down the aging process and reduce inflammation.

Ingredients:

• 1 bagel, sliced horizontally
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 egg yolk
• 6-8 spears green asparagus, trimmed
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp Mediterranean seasoning
• 2-3 slices fresh tomato
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a pan. Toast the top half of the bagel in the pan, then crack an egg yolk into the hole.
2. Add asparagus spears to the same pan, season, and cook until tender and the egg is cooked to your liking.
3. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bagel, layer with asparagus and tomato slices, and top with the bagel and egg.

So simple, right? And the result is absolutely scrumptious! 🍳🥯🌿
