Ingredients
- 1 loaf day-old crusty bread, cubed (about 6 cups)
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
- 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled (or breakfast sausage)
- ½ cup green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Wisconsin 26 Everything Bagel Seasoning (plus more for topping)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter. Spread bread cubes evenly across the bottom.
- Scatter cream cheese cubes, crumbled bacon, and green onions over the bread.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over the bread mixture.
- Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella. Sprinkle generously with Wisconsin 26 Everything Bagel Seasoning.
- Make-ahead tip: Cover and refrigerate overnight. Pull it out 30 minutes before baking to take the chill off.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes until puffed, golden, and set in the center.
- Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Finish with an extra sprinkle of Everything Bagel Seasoning and fresh green onions.
Tips & Variations
- Vegetarian: Skip the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
- Spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce before serving.
- Extra crispy top: Broil for the last 2–3 minutes for a golden, bubbly crust.
