This simple and delicious breakfast casserole is the perfect way to use up those extra bagels you have on hand. Add pork sausage, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and eggs, and you have a complete breakfast bake that’s ready in no time.

Everything Bagel Sausage Bake is a great breakfast casserole because it allows for many substitutions. Additionally, you can make it ahead and refrigerate overnight, or just bake immediately after putting it together.

This is a great dish to make if you have leftover bagels on hand. However, this will only work with plain or savory bagels such as poppyseed, everything, garlic, cheese, or sesame. If you happen to have leftover sweet bagels, be sure to try my Overnight Bagel French Toast Casserole that’s made with a cream cheese maple glaze.

Putting together this bagel breakfast casserole couldn’t be easier. If you are making ahead for the morning, you can prep the casserole the night before and then just bake before serving. Be sure to add a couple of minutes to the bake time so that the casserole has time to warm through.

To start, you will need to cook the pork sausage. Here, I recommend using one pound of Jimmy Dean’s breakfast sausage. However, you could use other flavored breakfast sausage, Italian sausage, turkey sausage, or even half of pound of bacon instead. Once the sausage is cooked, simply drain on a paper towel to remove any excess grease.

Next, spray your casserole dish or 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray. Add in the cubed bagels and sprinkle on diced green onions and shredded cheddar cheese.

Toss these ingredients together then prepare the egg custard. For the custard, simply beat together eight large eggs with two cups of milk and a pinch of kosher salt. Pour the custard over top of the bagel mixture and press down to soak.

Lastly, sprinkle on the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and dollop with 4 ounces of cubed cream cheese. You can then either bake immediately, or cover and refrigerate for later.

If baking immediately, place uncovered in a 350 degree oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until puffed and golden. Baking later? Let the everything bagel sausage bake sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking or add an additional 5 to 10 minutes to the cook time.

Bagel Casserole Substitutions

If you don’t have all of the exact ingredients for this recipe, don’t worry! You can still make it using what you have.

For the bagels, you can substitute any savory or plain bagels you have. No bagels? Use day old French bread, Italian bread, or even sourdough in place.

If you are not a sausage fan or would prefer to use something in its place, there are plenty of options available. You could go vegetarian and use a vegan meat substitute or sautéed veggies. If you do want to use meat, cooked bacon or Italian sausage would be delicious.

As for the cheese, use whatever shredded cheese you have on hand. Pepper jack, Monterey Jack, Swiss, or gruyere would be excellent as well.

    I would never have thought of using bagels like this. You definitely do learn something every day. I am going to look at your creme brulee french toast next.
