Breakfast Bagel Featuring Tomato And Garden Cream Cheese Recipes

EVERYTHING BAGEL BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C). Generously grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or similar size (about 3 quart) casserole dish.
• Layer the bagel pieces, chopped pepper, tomatoes, and bacon into the dish. Whisk the eggs, milk, cheese, ground mustard, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Pour evenly over bagel mixture.
• Top evenly with pieces of cream cheese and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, if using.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes or until center is set and edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before topping with scallions (if using), slicing, and serving.
• Cover leftover casserole tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

BREAKFAST BAGEL, FEATURING TOMATO AND GARDEN CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Fold cream cheese ingedients together.
• You can also toss all the ingredients into a food processor, but I like a chunkier cream cheese.
• Slice bagels in half, lengthwise.
• Toast.
• Spread generously with cream cheese and top with tomato slices.
• I like to make sure every square centimeter is covered with tomato.
• Sprinkle with a little salt and a good amount of pepper; eat while still warm.

JERSEY HAM, EGG, BAGEL AND HERB CREAM CHEESE BREAKFAST SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place the cream cheese in a large bowl. Finely chop the dill and parsley and add to the cream cheese with a pinch of chile powder. Season with salt and pepper, and thoroughly mix the ingredients to evenly distribute and combine the flavors.
• Slice 4 rounds from the center of the tomato, each about 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Set a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the pork roll slices until lightly browned on each side, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Whisk the eggs in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put a nonstick skillet on medium heat and add the butter. Add the eggs and cook until scrambled, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the herb cream cheese on each bagel half. Place 2 slices of the meat on the bottom half of each bagel and top with scrambled eggs and sliced tomato. Place the top half of each bagel on the sandwiches and serve.

BREAKFAST OATS & FRUIT

Steps:

• It is optional to soak the oats overnight in the water. I do soak them because it is easier for the body to access nutrients from soaked grain.
• Either way, in the morning, slice the banana (it might be helpful to let it thaw 10 minute if it's too frozen to slice easily- or use a paring knife). Transfer the banana slices to your smallest saucepan.
• If you soaked the oats, drain the water into the saucepan; if you didn't soak, just pour in the 1 cup water. Add the banana slices. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cover the pot for about 2-3 minutes, or until the banana is "bubbly" and very juicy-looking. At this point you can add the blueberries to simmer for 1-3 minute.
• In a cereal bowl, mix together the oats and bran, wheat germ or flax seeds. Sprinkle in whatever topping options you prefer.
• Now dump the boiled banana/berry stuff on top of the oat mixture. If there is still a lot of liquid on them, use a slotted spoon to scoop the banana/berries into the oats. Just add enough of the liquid to moisten the oats- adjust the consistency to your taste. Mix it all together well. Sprinkle it with wheat germ or flaxseeds if you like, and enjoy.
