Bagel and Cheese Bake

1/2 pound bacon, diced

1/2 cup chopped onion

3 plain bagels

1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

12 eggs, beaten

2 cups milk

2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese



Place the bacon and onion in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown.

Drain, and set aside. Slice each bagel into 4 thin slices.

Arrange 6 bagel slices in the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with the

bacon and onion mixture, followed by the Cheddar cheese. Top with remaining bagel slices.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, parsley, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over

the bagel layers. Cover, and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Uncover the chilled bagel dish, and bake in the

preheated oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until eggs are firm. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve warm.
