Bagel Egg Casserole Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 Onion, bell pepper, zucchini & squash chopped
• 3-day old everything bagels (cut into pieces) – about 6 cups – If you can’t find 3-day old bagels, you can toast them a little in the oven to harden them.

• 1 and 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Everything Bagel seasoning
• 6 ounces (170g) full-fat brick cream cheese, cut into bite-size pieces (you may need more- my friends love cream cheese on this recipe, so I add extra)

Recipe:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C). Generously grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or similar size (about 3-quart) casserole dish.
• I sauteéd the chopped veggies in extra virgin olive oil for 3-4 mins and added salt & pepper
• Layer the chopped & sauteèd veggies & bagel pieces into the dish. Whisk the eggs, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Pour evenly over the bagel mixture.
• Top evenly with pieces of cream cheese and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, if using.
• You can cover it with cling wrap & refrigerate for 2-3 hours or upto overnight.
