This thing is really easy and really yummy
INGREDIENTS
Non-stick cooking spray for coating the baking dish
8 ounces cold light cream cheese
1 pound “everything” bagels (about 4 to 5 bagels), cut or torn into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives (from about 1 bunch)
1 medium onion, chopped
8 large eggs
3 1/2 cups 1% milk
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
Cut the chilled cream cheese into 1/2-inch cubes
Place half of the bagel cubes in an even layer in the prepared dish and sprinkle with half of the cream cheese and half of the chives. Repeat with the remaining bagel cubes, cream cheese, and chives; set the dish aside.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl to break them up. Add the chopped onion, milk, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. Slowly pour the mixture evenly over the bread and cream cheese and press slightly on the bread to make sure it is mostly submerged.
Bake the casserole until it’s puffed, golden brown, and just set in the center, about 50 minutes. Remove the dish to a wire rack.
Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
