My Daily Bagel Breakfast Recipes

EVERYTHING BAGEL BREAKFAST BAKE

Steps:

• Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the bagel chunks in the dish in an even layer, then dollop the cream cheese around the baking dish, on top of and in between the bagel chunks.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, half the red onion and half the chives until combined. Pour the mixture over the bagels in the baking dish. Cover the baking dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set the baking dish out at room temperature while the oven heats.
• Bake, still covered in foil, until mostly set, about 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake until the top is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let cool slightly for 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish the top with ribbons of smoked salmon, capers and the remaining red onion and chives. Serve immediately.

MINI BREAKFAST BAGEL SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat a griddle over medium heat.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Mix the half-and-half, eggs and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a measuring cup. Gently pour the mixture into the skillet. Turn the heat to low, cover and wait until the eggs are set, 4 to 5 minutes.
• While the eggs cook, add the sausage patties to one half of the griddle and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes per side. Grease the other half of the griddle with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add the bagels, cut-side down, and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the bagels and sausage to a board.
• Roll the eggs into an omelet to fit the width of the bagels and cut into 4 pieces.
• To build, spread 1 tablespoon of chipotle mayonnaise on the bottom half of a bagel. Top with a sausage patty, 1/2 slice of the American and 1/2 slice of the pepper jack cheese. Top with a slice of the rolled omelet, a slice of tomato and a few slices of avocado. Sprinkle some of the everything seasoning over the avocado. Place the other half of the bagel on top. Assemble the other 3 sandwiches, then serve.

Pour 1/2 of the egg mixture over the bagels, top with salmon mixture, then sprinkle with 1/2 of the Swiss and Monterey Jack cheeses. Pour in remaining egg mixture, top with cream cheese mixture, and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Season with pepper.
