Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 4 everything bagels, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyere, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers, divided
  • 1 (8-ounce) block Neufchatel cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes, divided
  • 1/2 medium red onion, peeled and thinly sliced, divided
  • 10 pieces cooked turkey bacon, cut into pieces, divided
  • 3 ounces baby spinach
  • 9 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 2 green onions, sliced, plus more for garnish
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Everything But The Bagel seasoning

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Scatter half of the chopped bagel pieces into the baking dish. Top with half each of shredded cheese, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, Neufchatel cheese, red onion, and turkey bacon. Sprinkle all of the baby spinach over top this layer. Repeat the same process with the bagels, followed by the shredded cheese, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, Neufchatel cheese, red onion and turkey bacon to make another layer.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and green onions. Season with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Pour the egg mixture over the bagels, making sure all of the bagel pieces are coated. Sprinkle the Everything But The Bagel seasoning over the entire casserole, cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the bagels are golden and the eggs are cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
  5. Garnish with green onions and serve.
