Let's get started.

Bagel Breakfast Casserole

1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

8 Oz. Breakfast Sausage

2 Cups Milk

3/4 Cups Half and Half

Pinch of Cayenne 

8 Large Eggs

Kosher Salt

Freshly Ground Black Pepper

1 1/2 Cups Baby Spinach

2 Large Plain Bagels, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 1/3 Cups Provolone, grated

8 Oz. Cream Cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes

Everything but the bagel seasoning 

 

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

In a skillet using medium high heat, add in the olive oil, and breakfast sausage, break the sausage with a wooden spoon and cook for 5-8 minutes. Remove the sausage using a slotted spoon. 

In a large bowl whisk together the milk, half and half, cayenne pepper, eggs, 3/4 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper until well combined. Add in the sausage, spinach, bagels, 3/4 of the provolone cheese. Mix until evenly coated. 

Pour into prepared baking dish, dot the top of the casserole with cream cheese, remaining provolone cheese, and a good sprinkle of everything but the bagel seasoning (about 1-2 tablespoons).

Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15-25 minutes or until the casserole is golden brown at the edges and set in the center. 

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
