I've attempted several different brunch casseroles over the years and this is one of the best. It is also one of the easiest. There are only 6 ingredients! I ended up making a slightly larger batch than the recipe called for... which necessitated in getting some emergency eggs from my neighbor.
This made for a great accompaniment to the brunch. It was not too eggy and the green onions made a great addition. I also made a blood orange cardamom cake to go with it... and some other nice ladies brought a fruit salad and tasty pink donuts. The best and worst part about hosting brunch is that I'll be eating all these leftovers for two more days.
A few notes:
- prepare the dig the night before for ultimate ease
- I bought fresh bagels from Trader Joes... but this would be a great opportunity to get a bargain on some day old bagels
- i swapped out regular bacon for turkey bacon... frankly, I didn't even notice the difference and I love bacon. You could also swap in pancetta or anything salty.
- Arrange bagels in 2- to 2 1/2-qt. baking dish.
- In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cheese, bacon, 4 sliced green onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Pour over bagels, pressing down slightly to submerge.
- Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover dish and bake 45 to 55 minutes until set.
- Let cool 15 minutes before serving; garnish with green onion.
