Everything Bagel Make Ahead Breakfast Casserole
Description
The casserole uses seasoned everything bagels cut into cubes, layered with bacon pieces, shredded Gruyere cheese, and cream cheese cubes in a casserole dish. Pouring a mixture of beaten eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper over the layers ensures the bread absorbs the custard, producing a cohesive and rich texture once baked. Refrigeration before baking helps the custard set and flavors meld together.
Baking covered for forty minutes then uncovered for another fifteen develops a golden top while keeping the interior moist. The combination of salty bacon and creamy cheeses creates savory richness, contrasted by the seasoned everything bagel which adds flavor from its seed and seasoning crust. Chives sprinkled on top finish the presentation with a mild, fresh note.
This casserole reheats well and can be prepared ahead, making it practical for feeding multiple people during breakfast gatherings or holidays.
