Happy Monday, everyone :-)

I found a great recipe for an easy weekend breakfast treat I would like to share with you! I tweaked it slightly because I had a couple of different ingredients handy. The original calls for English muffins and cheddar cheese. I'm sure that's delicious too. It's a crowd pleaser! Enjoy <3

Bagel Casserole
serves 4

• Thin Everything bagels, split (from Thomas)
• 6 oz Canadian bacon
• 1 cup Swiss or Gruyere cheese
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/4 cup milk
• salt
• pepper

Grease an 8-inch baking dish. Cube bagels and chop Canadian bacon. Add half of the cubed bagels in a single layer. Top with half of the Canadian bacon and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Layer the remaining bagels and Canadian bacon and 1/2 cup more cheese.

Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole. Wrap the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 1 day (great to assemble the night before!)

 Bake at 325 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes.
