Bagel Breakfast Casserole

 This easy-peasy bagel breakfast casserole recipe is a family favorite for years and years. Everyone loves it! It’s a very versatile recipe too. Check it out. You are sure to love it too!

My family loves when I make this bagel breakfast casserole for breakfast and brunch but, they also love it for dinner.

Every so often I make breakfast recipes for dinner. It’s a tradition I kept up from my mom Ruthie.

My sister and niece also do the same with their kids.

Even my hubby loves a change now and again.

Some nights it’s pancakes and french toast or eggs with hash brown potatoes.

This bagel breakfast casserole is their favorite though.

If you haven’t done breakfast for dinner, try it out sometime.

Your family will probably enjoy the change from a traditional dinner meal like mine does.

Now, getting back to the recipe, first of all, I guess you could say it’s a combo between a casserole and bread pudding.

The bagels give this dish a great texture and if you want to use bagels other than plain, you’re in for a real treat.

Try some plain and some everything. A taste sensation!

Remember when I said it was a versatile reicpe? That’s because there is bacon and sausage in the casserole.

For a change up, I sometimes use turkey bacon and turkey sausage.

Then, when we are in a vegetarian mood, I use vegan bacon and sausage.

Hey, I know what you are thinking, but don’t knock it until you try some of the brands in the markets. They are pretty good. Especially when you add it to eggs and lots of cheese.

So, why don’t you give this recipe a try, it really is delicious.
