My Family's Favorite New York-Inspired Breakfast Casserole

Everything Bagel Breakfast Casserole

If you're a fan of everything bagels, you'll love this breakfast casserole. It's loaded with bagel bites, everything bagel seasoning, tangy cream cheese, and a quiche-like egg base. The addition of bacon adds a delicious twist, but you can omit it or replace it with lox if you prefer.

To make this casserole, you'll need 7 large eggs, 2 1/2 cups half-and-half, kosher salt, black pepper, everything bagel seasoning, everything bagels cut into chunks, shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, sliced scallions, and cream cheese cubes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning. Add the bagel chunks, Cheddar cheese, bacon, and scallions. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bagels absorb some of the liquid. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining everything bagel seasoning. Distribute the cream cheese cubes over the top. Bake for about 45 minutes until set and golden brown. Let it rest for 10 minutes, garnish with scallions, and serve.
