New York Breakfast Casserole image

Adapted from Deb Perelman's wonderful 'The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook'. Bagels and cream cheese make me reminisce about Collegetown Bagels in Ithaca, New York; I rarely enjoy them now because of the carbs/calories, but found this casserole to be worth it. Gooey on the bottom, crusty on top - yum. The prep and cook times do not include overnight chilling,

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 everything bagels, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 ounces neufchatel cheese, cut into irregular small bits
1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes, cut in half
8 large eggs
2 1/3 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
capers, for serving (optional)
lox, for serving (optional)
crisply cooked bacon, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • The night before serving the casserole, spread one half of the bagel cubes in the bottom of a greased 9-by-13-inch pan.
  • Dot with half of the Neufchatel cheese, and mix in the red onion and tomatoes.
  • Make one more layer with the bagel cubes and Neufchatel cheese.
  • Whisk eggs with milk, salt and pepper. Pour mixture over the bagels. Cover pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove casserole from the fridge, uncover and bake until casserole has puffed, turned golden brown and cooked through. (A knife inserted into the center of the casserole and rotated slightly should not release any liquid.) This will take about an hour. You may cover the pan with foil for the last 15-20 minutes if the top bagels are getting too brown for your liking.
  • Let cool a few minutes, and serve in big scoops with a sprinkle of capers and a side of lox or bacon.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf of stale bread in my freezer and this is the perfect recipe to use it up.

This casserole was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and so delicious. The only thing I changed was adding some chopped green bell pepper. Will definitely be making this again.
