Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole plain bagels
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 6 oz smoked salmon
- 8 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 3 scallions (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons dill (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Slice the bagels into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces) and spread them out evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and scatter them evenly over the bagel pieces.
Shred the smoked salmon into small pieces and sprinkle it over the bagel and cream cheese mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring all the bagel pieces are soaked.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, scallions, and capers on top of the casserole.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed and golden brown on top.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh dill for added flavor.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your New York Breakfast Casserole!
