Indulge in our cheesy sausage breakfast bread pudding—a comforting breakfast loaded with savory flavors and rich textures. Perfect for a morning feast!
Ingredients
- • crusty bread: 8 cups, cubed
- • breakfast sausage: 1 pound, cooked and crumbled
- • cheddar cheese: 2 cups, shredded
- • whole milk: 2 cups
- • heavy cream: 1 cup
- • large eggs: 4
- • unsalted butter: 4 tablespoons, melted
- • fresh thyme: 1 tablespoon, chopped
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Dijon mustard: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, melted butter, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- 3 Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat, allowing the bread to soak up the custard for about 10 minutes.
- 4 Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped thyme, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- 5 Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Press down gently with a spatula to compact the ingredients slightly.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This indulgent breakfast dish pairs beautifully with a fresh fruit salad to add a touch of sweetness to your morning meal. For beverages, consider serving with freshly squeezed orange juice or a creamy cappuccino to complement the rich flavors of the pudding. A garnish of fresh thyme on top of each serving adds a hint of freshness. For a more decadent twist, drizzle a bit of maple syrup over the pudding before serving, elevating the savory-sweet contrast that makes breakfast so satisfying.
Storage Tips
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover the portion with aluminum foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 15 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual servings until warm, but the oven method helps maintain the bread's texture.
