Mind. Blown. Everything Bagel meets Toad in the Hole – a.k.a., the most perfect breakfast creation! This idea came to me last time I was making a batch of two-ingredient dough bagels. It worked so well I may never go back to egg-less bagels again. It’s everything you need for breakfast in one perfect little pastry! My Egg in a Hole Everything Bagels are simple to make and come to 3 Blue WW SmartPoints/6 Green WW SmartPoints or 203 calories each.
These guys are so much fun to make! They are perfect to serve for guests, great for brunch, and easy to meal prep to have on hand for the week. I’ve meal prepped them twice and they reheat well in the toaster oven or microwave.
The base of the bagel is the standard two-ingredient dough mix of half nonfat Greek yogurt and half self-rising flour. The key for our egg in a hole is making sure we have a nice big opening for the egg. I created an extra large opening but forming my dough around the bottom of a glass! The dough rises a lot in the oven so it’s important to make a hole bigger than you would expect to need. The bagels bake about halfway before we add in the egg.
I used everything bagel seasoning (my fav!) for the bagels but if you aren’t a fan they’d also be delicious with nutty sesame seeds on top. You can find everything bagel seasoning at most stores these days or you can order online or even make your own (just google a recipe).
Give these a try and let me know what you think!
My Egg in a Hole Everything Bagel recipe makes 4 bagels at 3 Blue WW SmartPoints/6 Green WW SmartPoints or 203 calories each. Enjoy!
- 1 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt (pour out any liquid sitting on top)
- 1 cup self-rising flour, plus a little extra for kneading
- Everything bagel seasoning (store bought or homemade)
- 4 eggs
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the flour and Greek yogurt. Mix well, until a dough ball forms. If dough is too dry, add a little extra yogurt. If dough is really wet, add a little extra flour.
- Lightly flour a work surface and turn dough out. Knead well, until a smooth dough ball forms. Add a little extra flour, as needed, to prevent sticking.
- Divide dough into four even pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope until it is long enough to wrap around the bottom of a glass.
- Place a glass on the baking sheet. (Mine was 2.75 inches in diameter. Look for one that's 2.5-3 inches wide.) Carefully wrap the dough around the base of the glass, pinching at the ends to form the bagel (see photo in blog post). Remove glass and repeat with remaining pieces of dough until you have four bagels.
- Brush the egg white over the tops and sides of the bagels and generously sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully crack one each into the center of each bagel.
- Bake for an additional 8-12 minutes, depending on how done you want the egg yolk. Cook until the bagel is golden brown and the egg is cooked to your liking. Remove from oven and let sit 2-3 minutes before enjoying.
Cooking Tips:
- Try to make sure the bagel is the same thickness all the way around. If one side is really low the egg will run out.
- Bagels reheat best in a toaster oven but can also be reheated in a microwave for about 30 seconds. If you are planning to reheat and like your egg yolk a little soft, I'd under cook the egg by a few minutes so that it's perfect when you reheat.
- Recipe is easy to divide if you'd only like to make 1 or 2 bagels at a time.

Hi Rachel!
I’m sorry if you mentioned it in the post and I missed it. But how do you store these for meal prep?
I just wrap them individually and reheat in the toaster oven or microwave! =)
