Foodie Fridays: Mad Scramble Bagelwich

I had ambitious plans to test a new recipe this week for today's post but, as often happens, circumstances intervened and I had no time to cook.  We have been doing some major maintenance work on our deck, and our painter made a mad scramble to finish today so that it would be done before Labor Day weekend.  I have been scrambling madly trying to return the numerous items we keep on the deck to their original locations, taking frequent breaks to escape the disgustingly warm and humid weather we are having today (one of those days that feels like a thunderstorm is imminent but then it never arrives).

Needless to say, I had neither the time nor the inclination to cook anything complicated, and so the idea for my Mad Scramble Bagelwich was born.  I grabbed a couple of our hen Dixie's eggs, scrambled them with some diced fresh tomato, a little arugula, and some Everything Seasoning I purchased recently at Walmart, and then loaded it all onto a toasted bagel half smeared with chive and onion-flavored cream cheese.  It proved to be a quick, easy, tasty, and satisfying dinner that I will certainly make again, although maybe for breakfast next time instead of dinner.  If you are scrambling to make a quick meal, this sandwich is worth a try!

Mad Scramble Bagelwich

2 eggs
2 small tomatoes, seeded and diced
handful of fresh arugula
Everything Seasoning to taste (I used about 1/4 tsp.)
1/2 bagel (I used whole wheat)
2 T. cream cheese (use your favorite savory flavor)

Crack the eggs into a small bowl and use a fork to whisk with a splash of water.  Heat a small skillet over medium heat, add some cooking spray (or use oil or butter), and add the eggs.  Stir with a spoon to scramble the eggs.  Add the tomatoes, arugula, and Everything Seasoning and continue to scramble until the eggs are just set.  Remove from the heat and set aside.

Toast the bagel half and spread with the cream cheese.  Mound the scrambled eggs on top (there will be more than enough and some will probably tumble onto the plate).  Serve immediately.  Serves 1.
