Simple breakfast, with bad breath

Another quick post in my breakfast series…

Similar to my previous posting, there are still a few things in my kitchen that I want to use up before I head out of town tonight. I have a few eggs left, onion, green pepper, one jalapeno from the garden, and two bagels in the freezer.

Of course, the bagels will stay in the freezer for a while, but I want one so I don’t wanna hear about it. Only the salt and the garlic bagel are left from my recently purchased dozen from Goldberg’s Deli. Their bagels rule, best in town, but I have been avoiding these last two even though I love them in a special way. I always knock out the everything bagels first, then move on to the poppy, then the sesame, then I’m left with these two guys. Strange that I always eat them in this order.

The salt bagel is outrageous – I literally spend 5 minutes brushing excess salt off because I can’t eat it otherwise, and I use tons of cream cheese to balance out the flavors, but once that balance is achieved, it really is fantastic and out of the ordinary. The garlic bagel isn’t quite so offensive in terms of edibility, but is definitely more so in the breath department. Seriously, if I was eating with someone else, it could ruin their breakfast.

Anyways, here’s the quick run-down of breakfast. I’m done apologizing for the camera-phone pictures.

Sauteed chopped onions and green pepper in evoo.

Meanwhile I minced the jalapeno, beat two eggs (with a splash of water added, then salt/pepper added), and microwaved the bagel so I could slice it and put it in the toaster.

After a few minutes I added the eggs to the pan, the jalapenos, and threw in some chopped feta.

Added cream cheese to the bagel, plated the eggs, and done.

Side note: I used the new(ish) 1/3 less fat Philadelphs cream cheese, which I bought the other day to see if it was indeed as rich as they say it is. Eh. I wouldn’t say it’s as good as regular. I still prefer the homemade stuff from Goldberg’s. Color me snobby.
