Everything Bagel Breakfast Casserole
Description
Everything Bagel Breakfast Casserole combines day-old bagels cut into pieces with eggs, whole milk, and seasoning to create a baked custard breakfast dish. The addition of diced cream cheese throughout melts into pockets of creamy texture, while the everything bagel seasoning layers a familiar savory flavor of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, and onion. Chopped red onion adds a mild sharpness within the custard matrix. The casserole is baked until the egg custard is fully set and the top turns golden brown, creating a contrast between the soft custard and slightly firm bagel pieces.
At serving, fresh quartered grape tomatoes give a juicy and mildly sweet topping that balances the richness of the casserole. The dish can be complemented with optional lox for additional savory depth. This casserole works well for breakfast or brunch gatherings, providing a filling and flavorful start to the day without extensive preparation.
