Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 everything bagels, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the cubed everything bagels to the egg mixture and let them soak for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the cooked sausage, onion, and pepper mixture into the egg and bagel mixture.
- Pour half of the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and dot half of the cream cheese cubes over the top.
- Pour the remaining egg and bagel mixture over the cheese. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and cream cheese cubes.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown on top.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For an extra everything bagel flavor, you can sprinkle a little extra everything bagel seasoning on top before baking.
- If you don’t have breakfast sausage, you can use bacon or ham.
- This casserole can be assembled the night before and baked in the morning. Cover and refrigerate, then add about 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
