Bagel, Lox, and Egg Strata image

I've had this recipe saved for years but lost track of it until recently. I'm posting it here for safe-keeping and hope to make it the next time that my daughter's family comes for a weekend. This is a make-ahead breakfast casserole with bagels and smoked salmon. Viv Raives, Cambria, Calif. was the $400 winner in the Egg...

I'm not a big fan of lox, so I used smoked salmon instead. It was still very good. I also added some chopped red onion and capers to the top before baking. It gave it a nice flavor boost.
