How to Make Bagel French Toast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 6 bagels in half and spread each half evenly with 4 ounces Laughing Cow cheese.
  3. Cut each bagel half into 8 pieces and arrange cut-side down in a greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs (or equivalent egg substitute), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup pure maple syrup.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bagels in the baking pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  7. 30 minutes before baking, remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature.
  8. Place the covered casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Uncover the casserole, sprinkle liberally with 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with extra warmed maple syrup, if desired.
