Calories: 561kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 9 bagels (your choice of flavor), cubed
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed and softened to room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, plus 1 additional cup for topping
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup milk of your choice
- 1/4 red onion, diced
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus 1 additional tablespoon for topping
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour melted butter into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and turn to coat dish. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients (except the 1 cup of Parmesan and 1 tablespoon of chives for topping.)
- Pour mixture into prepared casserole dish and sprinkle 1 cup grated Parmesan over top.
- Bake in 400 degree oven for 30-45 minutes, or until eggs are fairly set (they may continue to cook a bit after removing the casserole from the oven so don’t fret if they’re still a tiny bit runny.)
- Let cool slightly and sprinkle on additional tablespoon of chopped fresh chives before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to use any flavor bagels you prefer in this recipe, but savory flavors will tend to pair better with the smoked salmon.
- You can assemble this casserole the night before you plan to serve it, store it overnight in the refrigerator, and just pop it in the oven the next morning.
- I made this in my 9-by-13-inch Le Creuset covered casserole dish, making it perfectly portable!
