I’m always looking for ways to keep breakfast exciting, delicious, and high in protein without spending hours in the kitchen. Enter: The High-Protein Lox Breakfast Skillet. It’s the perfect savory breakfast when you’re craving something filling, flavorful, and packed with protein to fuel your morning!

This skillet combines creamy, herby Laughing Cow cheese, fluffy eggs, and smoky salmon with a sprinkle of Everything But the Bagel (EBTB) seasoning to give you all the flavors of a classic bagel-and-lox breakfast — without the carbs. Plus, it comes together in less than 10 minutes, making it ideal for busy mornings.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 2 Laughing Cow cheese wedges (Garlic & Herb)

• 100g egg whites

• 1 whole egg

• 1 package of Everything But the Bagel Smoked Salmon (from Trader Joe’s) or plain smoked salmon

• Everything But the Bagel seasoning

• Fresh dill for garnish

How to Make It:

1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with a little cooking spray (or use a tiny bit of olive oil if you prefer).

2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it softens and becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. In a bowl, whisk together 100g egg whites and 1 whole egg.

4. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the onions and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set.

5. Add the Laughing Cow cheese wedges to the skillet. Stir until the cheese melts into the eggs, making them creamy and flavorful.

6. Tear the smoked salmon into pieces and gently fold it into the skillet.

7. Sprinkle Everything But the Bagel seasoning over the top for that classic lox bagel flavor.

8. Garnish with fresh dill and serve hot!
