- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pinch Ground Black Pepper
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 1 Avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Prepare Casserole Dish: Lightly coat an 8×8-inch or a similarly sized casserole dish with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- Layer Bagel Pieces: Cut the everything bagels into pieces and scatter them evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
- Add Sausage and Cream Cheese: Distribute the breakfast sausage links and dollops of cream cheese evenly over the top of the bagel pieces.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, stone ground mustard, salt, and a pinch of black pepper until thoroughly combined.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the layered bagel and sausage mixture in the casserole dish.
- Bake Casserole: Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges turn golden brown.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Remove the casserole from the oven and top with fresh sliced tomato and avocado to add brightness and creaminess to the dish.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into portions and serving warm.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage links for a leaner option.
- Feel free to add spices such as smoked paprika or garlic powder to enhance flavor.
- For a vegetarian version, replace sausage with sautéed mushrooms or a plant-based sausage alternative.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- If everything bagels are unavailable, regular bagels with a sprinkle of everything seasoning can be used.
