1. Cook the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Move it to paper towels to drain, leaving the fat in the pan.

2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes.

3. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Tear the bagels into bite-size pieces and spread them evenly in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

4. Scatter the bacon, cooked onion and shredded sharp Cheddar cheese over the bagel pieces.

5. Whisk the beaten eggs, milk, chopped parsley, pepper and grated Parmesan cheese together in a bowl until well blended.

6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bagels and cheese, pressing the bagel pieces down so they soak. Let stand 10 minutes.

7. Bake for 35 minutes, until the top is golden and set and the center reaches 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer.

8. Let the bake rest 5 minutes, then cut into 12 squares and serve warm.
