This everything bagel breakfast strata is perfect for Mother’s Day. With bacon, cheese, basil and sun-dried tomatoes it’s a delicious gluten-free brunch!

I’ve never been a brunch person.

I honestly don’t know why but we just never did brunch as a family for any holiday, even the ones that lend themselves to the meal like Easter or Mother’s Day and so it just never really became a “thing” for me.

But then for my job, I spend every day looking at food either on blogs, Instagram or Facebook and come across some seriously EPIC brunch creations that I decided this brunch-less life I’ve been leading needs to change.

Last month I went out to what might be my first legit brunch ever on a Sunday with some girlfriends, stuffed my face with oysters, a poached egg caesar salad, duck confit hash and some pretty delicious bloody Marys and now I literally want to punch my self in the face for missing out on this amazing mash-up meal for the past 35 years.

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, the holy grail of all brunch holidays, it seemed appropriate for my next post with Udi’s to get my brunch game on.

This breakfast strata is made with Udi's gluten free everything bagels for a delicious brunch option.

Everything bagels are used in this breakfast strata combined with bacon, cheese, basil and sun-dried tomatoes for a delicious gluten-free brunch.

Their everything inside bagels are one of my favorite products (toasted with some cream cheese is my go-to post workout carb feast on weekends) and when the idea came to turn them into a breakfast strata, I knew it was going to be the kind of dish that blows everything else on the brunch table out of the water.

Trust me, deviled eggs have nothing on this…

The everything bagels alone with some eggs, milk and cheese would be enough to make me happy but with the addition of bacon, basil and sun-dried tomatoes, this bagel breakfast strata is the perfect balance of savory comfort food and fancy holiday recipe.

This everything bagel breakfast strata takes brunch to the next level!

And while I’m pretty sure any mom would be happy to see this everything bagel breakfast strata on the table to celebrate her special day (or this cheesy potato breakfast casserole), nothing says you can’t just enjoy it for any weekend brunch all year round!

Preferably with a Bloody Mary. Or two.

Love my Everything Bagel Breakfast Strata recipe?

Check out the sweet cousin of this breakfast strata, last year’s chocolate strawberry bread pudding — also made with Udi’s so it’s gluten free too!

This asparagus omelette souffle is another great option for Mother’s Day.

Having a bunch of people over for brunch? Try these blackberry French toast bites– they feed a crowd! And make a batch of these easy apple chicken sausage patties to include some extra protein for people.
