    Everything bagels are the star of this easy, cheese overnight breakfast casserole!

    Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  And I think it deserves so much more than cereal tossed in a bowl and drenched in milk. But who is going to haul out the skillets, toaster, baking sheets and 20 ingredients before the first cup of coffee has kicked in on a school day? Not even this early riser!  But I will prep this ridiculously delicious breakfast casserole the night before and pull off a gold medal breakfast!

    Can I Make Breakfast Casserole Ahead of Time?

    Yes! That's right ... you can make this overnight breakfast casserole the day before you are going to wow your family and friends.  For this recipe, instead of using sliced bread to soak up the eggs, I chopped up everything bagels.  I love the little boost of flavor that you get from the onions, garlic, sesame seeds and salt on the bagels.  Then, I poured a seasoned egg mixture over them, added chopped bacon AND cheddar cheese and popped it in the fridge so everyone could get to know each other a little better.

    In the morning, I popped it in the oven and waited for my sleepy heads to wander down the hallway, following their noses ... this thing smells awesome as it bakes!!

    Breakfast Casserole Flavors

    The best thing about casseroles - even breakfast casseroles - is that you can tweak them to fit whatever you might have in your pantry and fridge!

    • Use asiago cheese bagels instead of everything bagels.
    • How about browned breakfast sausage or cubed ham instead of bacon?
    • Replace the bacon with sauteed mushrooms, onions and peppers for a vegetarian version.
    • Add some hot sauce and pepper jack cheese for a little heat.

    With the holidays right around the corner, this overnight breakfast casserole is perfect to feed a crowd!  You can serve it at a Fall brunch or even prep it for Christmas morning breakfast!

      Thank you for making this recipe - I was looking for something bagel specific, preferably *everything* bagel specific in a breakfast casserole as my boyfriend is in a Breakfast Club at work and wanted to use something that highlights the Jersey traditional "Bagel, pork roll (Taylor Ham) egg and cheese sandwich to those that have never had that Jersey delicacy. I just put it in the fridge to soak overnight, and I'm sure this will be a hit. If not at his work, it will definitely will be a winner in this home so far from Jersey. I only wish I had some extra 'everything spice' but I ordered some online for next time and mix it in with the eggs or sprinkle on top with the cheese. There will be a next time!

        Hi Pam - I haven't, but that would be delicious. They would probably release a little moisture while cooking, so you could either saute the vegetables before adding them to the casserole or reduce the milk in the egg mixture. I'd love to hear back if you try it!!

      HI,
      I'm not in the USA, just wondering what 'everything bagels' are? And I'm guessing I can substitute regular bagels, plus a bit of extra spice/herbs? Thanks!

        Hi Bec! Everything bagels are bagels that are baked with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried onions, salt and dried garlic. You can definitely substitute onion bagels or just plan bagels and add your favorite spices. It's a pretty easy recipe to adjust to your personal tastes or what you have on hand!
