Everything Bagel & Brisket Strata

Ingredients

• 8 cups (10 oz) day old everything bagels, torn into pieces
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 each (about 2 cups sliced) yellow onion, sliced 1/4”
• Noble Saltworks Pecan Smoked Salt
• Cattleman’s Grill Everything Bagel Seasoning
• 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
• 2 tbsp capers
• 10 eggs
• 1 cup (8 oz) smoked cream cheese, room temperature
• 3 cups milk
• 1 tbsp Hoff Haus Hot Sauce
• 1 tbsp Kozlik’s Dijon Classique Mustard
• 2 cups sharp cheddar, grated
• 8 oz smoked brisket, diced/chopped

Instructions

Leave torn bagel pieces out overnight covered with a towel.

Melt butter in Lodge 12” Cast Iron Skillet. Add onions. Pinch of smoked salt. Cook over medium heat until beginning to caramelize. Turn off the heat. Add about one tablespoon Cattleman’s Grill Everything Bagel Seasoning and the chopped spinach. Let the residual heat from the cast iron toast the seasoning and wilt the spinach. Remove from the skillet and mix in the capers.

Combine the eggs and room temperature cream cheese in a stand mixer. Whisk over medium high heat until the cream cheese is broken down and the mixture is mostly smooth. Combine the milk, Hoff Haus Hot Sauce and Kozlik’s Dijon Classique Mustard in a pitcher. With the mixer running, slowly pour the milk mixture into the bowl. Mix until well combined, about 30-60 seconds.
