1

Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's nice and hot when we're ready to bake the casserole.

2

Prepare the Bagels

Slice your bagels into bite-sized pieces. You'll need about 4-5 large bagels for this recipe. If you prefer a more intense bagel flavor, you can lightly toast them before slicing.

3

Make the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup of finely chopped dill, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

4

Layer the Ingredients

Grease a baking dish with a little butter or cooking spray. Place half of the sliced bagels in the bottom of the dish. Top with half of the cream cheese mixture, followed by 8-10 slices of lox and 1/4 cup of diced red onion. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.

5

Add the Egg Mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk together 5 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, making sure to coat everything evenly.

6

Bake and Serve

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh dill or chopped chives if desired, and enjoy!
