Bagel Nest Eggs Recipe

Bagel Nest Eggs Recipe

February 23^rd was National Toast Day, and we celebrated over on my live show, Lunch with Leslie, by making bagel nest eggs! Ok, so a bagel isn’t the same as toast but you know I like to tweak things with a Go2Kitchens twist! You also know that my main source of animal protein in my diet is eggs and not just any old eggs. Vital Farms eggs are the only eggs I use because they are pasture raised which means the hens have plenty of space to roam and forage! You know what they say, healthy hens mean healthy eggs! You can find out more about Vital Farm eggs at their website and go here to find eggs near you! Vital Farms also has amazing pasture-raised butter, so make sure you check that out the next time you are at your local grocery store!

I like to add vegetables to every meal, so I roasted some asparagus and cherry tomatoes to go along with my nest egg today. Asparagus is chock full of vitamins like A, C, E, K, and B6, as well as folate, iron, calcium, protein, and fiber! The cherry tomatoes in this recipe will supply your body with vitamin A, vitamin C, and lycopene, which is an antioxidant that plays a role in slowing down several types of cancer! You know we love that!

One last thing, please don’t be afraid of eating bread or grains! If you choose whole grain (not whole wheat) bread or bagels and eat it sparingly, it can be a healthy part of your diet. It’s good for our digestive tract and provides a lot of B vitamins. So don’t fear bread and bagels, but don’t overdo it either!
