Bagel, cream cheese and sausage breakfast bake
American 25 Mins Prep · 40 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Generously grease a large baking dish.
- Slice the bagel buns into half moons and arrange on a tray. Place in the oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, then set aside.
- Peel and finely slice the onion. Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Remove the sausage from its casing, crumble into the pan and cook for 5–6 minutes until browned. Add the onion and rosemary and cook for a further 5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook until blistered, then stir in the spinach and allow to wilt. Remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the toasted bagel slices in the greased baking dish. Spoon over the sausage and vegetable mixture. Pour over the egg mixture, ensuring everything is coated and evenly distributed.
- To make the everything bagel spice, toast the sesame and onion seeds in a dry pan. Allow to cool completely then mix with the garlic and salt.
- In a small bowl, stir the cream cheese with the everything bagel spice. Using a spoon, dot dollops of the flavoured cream cheese across the top of the bake.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbling.
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.
