You can tell that everything bagels are a big deal at my house. All you have to do is sweep the floor and look at all the sesame seeds and onion flakes in the dustpan. My daughter likes them toasted with cream cheese; I like them made into egg sandwiches, just like the ones I used to order at my neighborhood bagel shop in New York.

So we’re both delighted with this everything bagel breakfast casserole. It’s loaded with bagel bites, everything bagel seasoning, cubes of tangy cream cheese, and a quiche-like egg base to bind it all together. The bacon isn't quiiite standard-issue bagel shop fare, but they’re a great addition. If bacon isn’t your style, just omit it or swap it for bagel-friendly lox upgrade.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Assemble the casserole:

Whisk the eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the everything bagel seasoning in a large bowl (use the largest one you have) until smooth.

Add the bagels, Cheddar cheese, bacon, and scallions. Using a rubber spatula, fold everything together until the bagels are well coated. Let sit for 10 minutes, gently stirring occasionally, until the bagels soak up some of the liquid.  

Pour the bagel mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning and evenly distribute the cream cheese cubes over the top.
