Breakfast Bagel Bake
Skip to recipe
It is always a good idea to have a quick and easy breakfast casserole recipe at-the-ready for special occasions (or any time, really). What I love about this Breakfast Bagel Bake is that its ingredients include breakfast favorites, but it is easily customized to satisfy everyone’s taste.
The bake calls for just a few ingredients and is easy enough that children can help with the prep.
The Easy Prep Work
Everything bagels, with their coating of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onions and salt, provide the perfect base for this bake. Toast them and then cut the bagels into small pieces using the 7-3/4" Petite Slicer.
For less mess, cook the bacon in the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil, place a cooling rack in the pan and lay the strips of bacon on the rack. Bake at 400 F (the oven does not have to be preheated) and bake for 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and let cool.
Use the 5" Petite Santoku to finely chop the bacon and slice the green onions.
Putting It Together
Let the kids crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the milk and the rest of the ingredients and whisk together using the Mix-Stir.
Pour the egg mixture over the bagels, pressing down slightly to submerge them, and you’re done.
Cover the Breakfast Bagel Bake and place it in refrigerator for one hour or overnight. When ready to bake, cook uncovered for in a 350 F oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until set. Once it’s done, use the Spatula Spreader to slice and serve.
This casserole could be considered a sort of deconstructed bagel, egg and bacon breakfast sandwich. It gets its savory flavor from the everything bagels and green onion, and its smokiness from the bacon.
