Jerusalem Bagel with Tzatziki, Soft Scrambled Eggs, Green Olives and Feta

Homemade Jerusalem bagel with tzatziki and eggs is a weekend brunch must!

A Jerusalem bagel is a long, oval-shaped bread covered generously in sesame seeds with a light, fluffy interior and crisp crust. Unlike traditional boiled bagels, it’s baked and has a soft, almost baguette-like texture—perfect for slicing open and piling high with bold, fresh flavors. It’s a beloved street food staple in Jerusalem, often eaten warm and served with za’atar or dips.

In this savory breakfast twist, the Jerusalem bagel is filled with creamy tzatziki, soft scrambled eggs, briny green olives, and crumbled feta. The combination is bright, rich, and tangy with just the right amount of salt and herbaceous depth. It’s a Mediterranean-inspired meal that feels cozy yet vibrant—perfect for a leisurely brunch or an energizing morning bite.
