Filled with chewy bites of everything bagels, melty cheese and bacon crumbles, this brunch-worthy dish from Twin Cities food blogger greens & chocolate is a must-have for lazy weekends and brunch gatherings.

To say I’m obsessed with everything bagel seasoning might be an understatement. I eat it almost every morning on my avocado toast (so basic, I know, but SO good) and have been looking for other ways to use it. So far, I’ve put it on my kids’ leftover macaroni and cheese, used it as salmon seasoning and have made a chip dip with it. All of these have been very good life decisions, by the way.

Today I’m taking things old-school and actually using everything bagels. As in, ACTUAL everything bagels. In this Everything Bagel Egg Bake, you take those everything bagels, cut them into small pieces, and make them into an egg bake. It ended up way better than I even anticipated and I can’t wait to make this again for a crowd.

The rest of the recipe is simple. You start by cooking up some bacon. I prefer baking my bacon in the oven, as it’s less hands-on and there are no splatters all over my counter; however, you can definitely cook it on the stovetop if you prefer.

After that, you just combine the rest of the ingredients, including eggs, milk, a touch of Dijon mustard, cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Yes, cream cheese! It really takes the bagel theme all the way, y’know? And the bites with the cream cheese were definitely our favorite.

I make a lot of egg bakes in our house, and my husband declared this one his favorite. It was great to make on a weekend morning, with leftovers for the next couple of days, and it would also be a perfect dish to feed a brunch crowd.
