Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 everything bagels, cut into bite-sized pieces (stale bagels work perfectly)
- 8 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups whole milk (or substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese blend
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon (can substitute with plant-based sausage for a vegetarian twist)
- 1 cup chopped onions, bell peppers, or spinach
- 4 oz cream cheese, cubed
- 2–3 tablespoons Everything Bagel seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.
- Slice your everything bagels into bite-sized chunks. If your bagels are fresh, leave them out for a few hours to dry out, or toast them lightly.
- Cook the breakfast sausage or bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy. Remove from heat and crumble or chop into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper until fully combined.
- Spread the bagel pieces evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage or bacon over the bagel pieces.
- Add your chopped vegetables, spreading them out evenly.
- Distribute the cubed cream cheese across the top.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the assembled ingredients.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese and everything bagel seasoning on top.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
[‘Stale or toasted bagels absorb the egg mixture better and give the casserole a light, fluffy texture.’, ‘Fresh vegetables and high-quality cheese enhance the flavor.’, ‘Avoid overbaking; remove the casserole once the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.’, ‘Avoid adding too many watery ingredients to prevent a soggy casserole.’, ‘You can assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate it for easy baking in the morning.’]
