Recipe Background

This egg sandwich has gotten out of control! But it is also delicious! Well, it can be both. Cheesy Bagel Bake is loaded up with succulent bacon and slices of chewy, tender bagels, all in a bed of fluffy eggs. And of course, Cheesy Bagel Bake wouldn't be complete without lots of melty parmesan and cheddar cheese! That's a good morning in the making!

Ingredients

8 ounces bacon diced
1/2 cup onion chopped
3 plain bagels
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
12 eggs beaten
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons fresh parsley chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated, for serving
scallions optional, to taste, chopped, for serving

Directions

Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon and the onions and cook, while stirring, until the bacon is evenly browned, about 5-8 minutes.
Drain the excess fat from the skillet and set the bacon mixture aside.
Slice each of the bagels horizontally into 4 thin rounds.
Arrange 6 of the bagel slices at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Cover the bagel slice layer with the bacon mixture.
Sprinkle the cheddar evenly over the top of the bacon mixture layer.
Top the cheese layer with the remaining bagel slices.
In a medium bowl, add the eggs, the milk, the parsley, and the black pepper and whisk to combine.
Pour the egg mixture over the bagel layer in the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish and refrigerate it for at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Uncover the chilled baking dish.
Bake until the egg mixture is set, about 25-30 minutes.
Sprinkle the bake with the parmesan cheese and the scallions.
Serve warm.
