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

  1. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter. Spread bread cubes evenly across the bottom.
  2. Scatter cream cheese cubes, crumbled bacon, and green onions over the bread.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over the bread mixture.
  4. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella. Sprinkle generously with Wisconsin 26 Everything Bagel Seasoning.
  5. Make-ahead tip: Cover and refrigerate overnight. Pull it out 30 minutes before baking to take the chill off.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes until puffed, golden, and set in the center.
  7. 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.

The Everything Bagel Seasoning is the secret weapon here — it adds layers of flavor you just can't get from salt and pepper alone. Grab a jar of Wisconsin 26 Everything Bagel Seasoning and make this your new go-to brunch recipe.
