Overnight Bagel French Toast Casserole

Firstly, spray a cooking dish with nonstick spray and add in half a dozen diced bagels. Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the custard topping and pour over the bagels, pushing down to coat. Cover with foil and refrigerate.

In the morning, uncover the casserole and bake for 30-35 minutes or until custard is set.

Finally, and most importantly, make the delicious maple glaze frosting. Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk. Pour over the Overnight Bagel French Toast Casserole and serve with warm maple syrup.
