Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish

5 everything bagels, cut into 1-inch hunks (stale bagels work great here!) 

8 ounces whipped cream cheese 

3 cups whole milk 

10 large eggs, lightly beaten 

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 

1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper 

1/2 red onion, finely diced

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

8 ounces sliced smoked salmon 

2 tablespoons capers 

Directions

  1. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the bagel chunks in the dish in an even layer, then dollop the cream cheese around the baking dish, on top of and in between the bagel chunks.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, half the red onion and half the chives until combined. Pour the mixture over the bagels in the baking dish. Cover the baking dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set the baking dish out at room temperature while the oven heats.
  4. Bake, still covered in foil, until mostly set, about 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake until the top is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let cool slightly for 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish the top with ribbons of smoked salmon, capers and the remaining red onion and chives. Serve immediately.

This looked so good on the show, but it wasn't. I, too, agree that it was very bland. Needed more salt and flavor, which is weird given all the spices on the bagels. I didn't mind the texture, as I grew up with bread pudding. Would not recommend.
