Everything + The Bagel Egg Salad
Egg salad loaded with everything but the bagel seasoning + bacon served over a crispy bagel
Creator: Leslie Stokes
This will be one of the easiest Meal Preps you will ever do!
I love a good egg salad, but I’ve never really thought about making one for breakfast. So I’ve added in some everything but the bagel seasoning to pull in those breakfast flavors we all love and OMG it is sooooo good!
I was pressed for time this week and didn’t feel like peeling eggs for 30 minutes (because I really suck at doing that), so I cheated and bought some already made- there’s nothing wrong with that. Although, I do think it would have tasted a little better with fresh.
Ingredients:
- hard boiled eggs
- plain greek yogurt– less calories than mayo
- dijon mustard
- mayo
- red onion
- salt + pepper
- everything but the bagel seasoning
- bacon
- greens– I did a spinach + arugula blend
- your favorite bagel– I used the GF everything bagels from trader joe’s

My egg chopping hack:
I just add a cooling rack over a large bowl and then press the egg right into the rack. It cuts it into the perfect little pieces and takes just a few minutes- super easy!
I love this for a busy week because there is no cooking really- except for the eggs! If you are boiling your eggs this is how I do it-
- add the eggs into a small pot, fill with water and bring to a boil
- let the water boil for 2 minutes and then turn off the heat.
- set the timer for 10 minutes.
- after the 10 minutes- remove the eggs from the water and place into an ice bath (a bowl of water + ice).
- let the eggs sit for 5 minutes and the remove from the ice bath
Tips for this Meal Prep
I paired this meal prep with the Philly Cheesesteak Bowl. Both of these meals took me less than an hour to make. This is how I did it-
- If I would have boiled my own eggs, I would have done that first.
- While the eggs are cooking- chop the peppers, onions + mushrooms and make the rice
- Once the eggs are done, start browning the meat for the philly bowl, then the peppers
- put together the philly bowls while the eggs are still cooling down.
- Start cooking the bacon, peel the eggs and toast the bagels (you can do all of that at once)
- Mix together the egg salad ingredients
- put together the egg salad containers and start the clean up
That’s it!
I hope this meal prep helps you! Don’t forget to follow along on social meadia for more Meal Prep + healthy recipes!
