Recipe Ingredients
- 4 everything bagels, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 12 large Pete & Gerry’s Pasture Raised Eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups frozen diced onions and peppers, thawed and patted dry
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Recipe Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a deep 12-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Place bagel pieces in an even layer in the prepared skillet. Crack eggs into a large bowl. Whisk eggs and milk together in a separate large bowl until smooth. Stir in onions and peppers, cheddar, bacon, salt and pepper until combined. Pour egg mixture over bagels. Scatter cream cheese over strata.
- Bake until eggs are set and top is light golden-brown, about 40 to 50 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Top with chives. Slice and serve.
Tip:
Make the strata ahead of time. Simply assemble, cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, place it directly from the refrigerator into the oven and bake according to the recipe directions.
