Hatch Bagel Special...

OMG I just had a bloggable breakfast! It's been a while since we've created anything bloggable, but we had some fresh veg and seasonal bagels to use so here's our little "bagel and egg" breakfast...

1/2 hatch bagel toasted

scallion cream cheese
sauteed asparagus (olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic)
fried egg, over easy
a thin slice of tomato
sauteed crimini mushrooms (olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic)
whole milk mozzerella

stacked in that order, make sure the mozzerella melts.

ah! light yet satisfying!
