I am one frugal gal… This morning, I searched through the fridge for left overs that looked to be past their prime. In the very back corner, I spotted a half eaten bag of blueberry bagels and I thought that they might taste delicious added to a breakfast bake made up of eggs, milk, bagels, and apples. To my delight, the end product tasted delicious!
Blueberry Bagel Bake
4 stale blueberry bagels, cubed (Use any flavor you like)
1 large apple, cored, peeled, and chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
Place cubed bagels in a greased deep dish pie plate; set aside. In a small microwave safe bowl, mix apple, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Microwave until apple is soft and juices bubble; about 3 minutes on high. Pour mixture over bagels; mix well. In a medium bowl, mix eggs, milk, vanilla and almond extract. Pour over bagel mixture making sure bread is completely soaked. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until golden brown. Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and syrup.

This is such a good idea. I never thought about using bagels that way. I have a half-pack in the refrigerator right now that’s going to get used.

You never know what you can rustle up with leftovers… This actually turned out pretty wonderful (that’s not always the case with some of my concoctions). Haha😊

Use any flavor bagel you like, Carol. I think the cinnamon raisin bagel might be nice with vanilla nut extract or even maple nut extract. Thanks for your welcome comment. Have a good day!

I just put this together with a little more ease by adding apple pie filling instead of regular apples waiting on it to come out of the oven now! 🙂
