Tips:

  • Use fresh bagels. Stale bagels will not produce a light and fluffy casserole.
  • Cut the bagels into small cubes. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the casserole. This will help them soften and release their flavor.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give the casserole a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The bagels should be cooked through, but they should not be dry.

Conclusion:

Bagel breakfast casserole is a versatile and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast or brunch. It can be customized to suit your own taste preferences, and it is a great way to use up leftover bagels.
