Egg Bacon & Cheese Bagel Bake

A quick and easy egg bake casserole with all the flavors and textures of a egg, bacon and cheese bagel sandwich. You can even make it ahead, the night before and just bake it off in the morning. I make this for make ahead breakfast meals, brunches and to snack on during the day like monkey bread bites.

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs , divided
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 16 oz Bacon (since I was a kid, I use and LOVE Farmer John)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (I put a half a pound in chunks in my food processor and it gave me perfect little bits)
  • 8 large bagels

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook bacon on high heat, you want the color on the outside, the rest will bake through in the oven.
  2. Remove from pan, let cool and slice into chunks.
  3. Drain/wipe fat from pan if you would like to use butter to cook the eggs. If you want to cook them in bacon fat instead, drain all but about a tablespoon and heat the pan on medium high.
  4. Break 6 eggs into a bowl, add them to the pan and poke the yolks.
  5. Stir a bit just to spread the yolks around a bit.
  6. Cook until just set and remove from pan.
  7. Spray either your cast iron skillet or 8x8 inch pan with cooking spray.
  8. Cut the bagels into chunks and toast at 375 degrees until slightly browned and crispy, about 7-9 minutes.
  9. Whisk the rest of the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  10. Add toasted bagel chunks, eggs, bacon and cheese in layers to your pan.
  11. Pour the egg mixture over it evenly.
  12. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
