When we talk about weekend plans, the first order of business is always what we're going to make for brunch and this Everything Bagel Casserole is a regular in the rotation.
The Ingredients
- Everything Bagel- You could also substitute another flavor such as cheddar, onion or plain. For best results, chop it up the night before and leave it out overnight. This way, it soaks up the milk and egg mixture better without becoming too soggy. If you are unable to prepare the bagels the day before and leave them out, chop them up and toast them in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes before using them in the recipe.
- Bell Pepper, Tomato and Onion- Feel free to substitute different vegetables- up to 1 and ½ cups total
- Spinach
- Bacon- Cook and crumble prior to using in this recipe. Or substitute breakfast sausage or ham or omit the meat completely.
- Cheese- Shredded cheddar, mozzarella or gouda are all great options.
- Eggs
- Milk- Dairy or non-dairy milk, cream or even a thin yogurt will work.
- Fine Sea Salt
- Black Pepper
- Cream Cheese
- Everything Bagel Seasoning- Use a premade blend if you have it on hand or combine ½ tsp each poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried minced onion and dried minced garlic.
The Method
- Mix together bagel, vegetables, bacon and cheese in a loaf pan.
- Whisk together eggs, milk and seasonings and pour over loaf pan.
- Top with sliced cream cheese and bagel seasoning.
- Bake.
Leftover Storage
This Everything Bagel Casserole is best consumed immediately after making. However, if you do have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave.
