Ingredients

3 large plain bagels cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 lb sweet or hot Italian sausage cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 thin green onion thinly sliced
3 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
5 large eggs beaten
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste
1/2 tsp ground mustard

Instructions

Spray a 13x9-inch baking with cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 of the cubed bagels over the bottom of the dish.
Mix the Asiago cheese with the mozzarella cheese and divide in half. Place 1/2 into a plastic bag and into the refrigerator.
Sprinkle 1/2 of the bagel cubes with 1/2 of the cooked sausage, 1/2 of the sliced green onions and 1/2 of the shredded cheese mixture. Repeat reserving 1/2 of the cheese and 2 Tbsp green onion for garnishing.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, beaten eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper and ground mustard.
Pour the custard over the bagels and sausage. Gently press the bread into the custard. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
Bake: Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the remaining shredded Asiago-Mozzarella cheese mixture on top. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 45-55 minutes until golden and puffed up. Let stand on the counter for 5 minutes.
Garnish with reserved green onion before serving..

Notes

Cube the bagels and leave on the cutting board on the counter for a couple of hours to dry out. This will ensure the bagel cubes absorb all of the custard.
