- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, etc.)

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the dish evenly.
- Prepare Bagels: Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the split bagels inside it evenly, creating the base of the breakfast bake.

- Add Cheese and Vegetables: Stir the shredded cheese and diced vegetables into the egg mixture, then season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Combine and Pour: Pour the prepared egg and vegetable mixture evenly over the arranged bagels in the baking dish, making sure to cover all pieces.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and the top is slightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes after removing from the oven before slicing and serving to lock in flavors and avoid burns.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetables to your liking, such as adding spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes.
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture or substitute with any milk alternative for dietary preferences.
- Cheese varieties like cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda work well depending on flavor preferences.
- To save time, prepare the bake the night before and refrigerate, then bake in the morning.
- Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a simple salad for a well-rounded meal.
