Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 bagels
3 ounces Laughing Cow cheese (3 wedges)
3 eggs or 3/4 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup chopped pecans
cinnamon sugar

Steps:

  • Cut the bagels in half and spread evenly with the Laughing Cow Cheese. Cut each half into eights and place cut side down in an 8X8 inch pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the eggs or egg substitute, vanilla and maple syrup; pour over bagels and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  • Cover the dish with foil, place in refrigerator overnight. The next morning, remove from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to baking and allow to stand on counter.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place covered dish in oven. Cook for 30 minutes, uncover, sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar and bake an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until center is firm and surface is lightly brown.
  • Serve with warmed maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Use day-old bagels for the best results. This will help the bagels to absorb the egg mixture and cook evenly.
  • If you don't have day-old bagels, you can toast them in the oven for a few minutes before slicing them.
  • Use a shallow dish for dipping the bagels in the egg mixture. This will help to prevent the bagels from getting soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bagels. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Cook the bagels over medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will usually take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the bagels immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Bagel French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is a great way to use up leftover bagels and it can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.
