Print Recipe

A unique and creative stuffing recipe that combines bagels, lox, and cream cheese for a savory brunch dish or holiday side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bagels (plain, everything, or sesame), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 oz lox or smoked salmon, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Cut the bagels into 1-inch cubes and spread them on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 10 minutes until lightly crisp.
  3. In a skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, remaining melted butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. In a large bowl, toss toasted bagel cubes, sautéed onions, chopped lox, cream cheese (in small dollops), capers, and dill. Pour the egg mixture over the top and gently mix until coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Cover with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake covered for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
  8. Let the stuffing sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Toast the bagels to prevent soggy stuffing.’, ‘Use high-quality lox for the best flavor.’, ‘Be gentle when mixing to keep bagel cubes intact.’, ‘Adjust salt based on the saltiness of lox and capers.’, ‘You can prepare the stuffing a day ahead and refrigerate it.’]
