Everything Bagel Casserole Recipe with Smoked Salmon
Bagels, lox, cream cheese, capers and chives baked to creamy, puffy perfection
Ingredients
- 6 everything bagels
- 8 oz. smoked salmon minced
- 8 oz. cream cheese room temperature
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 2 Tbsp. capers
- 1 Tbsp. fresh chives minced
- 8 slices lacey Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Cut the bagels into cubes. Arrange them on a baking sheet and toast them at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place the bagel pieces into the baking dish.
- Place the eggs, cream cheese and half-and-half in a large bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat them together. There will still be chunks of cream cheese, which is okay. Stir in the smoked salmon, capers and chives.
- Pour the salmon mixture over the bagels. Cover with plastic wrap and weigh down with another baking dish. Refrigerate overnight or at least 1 hour.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unwrap the casserole and top with slices of Swiss cheese. Bake 40-45 minutes.
- Cool at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares. Garnish with additional fresh chives and fresh ground black pepper, if desired.
