Indulge in this bacon & sausage breakfast bread pudding with melty cheese. It's the ultimate comfort food breakfast win!
Ingredients
- • day-old crusty bread: 6 cups, cubed
- • bacon: 8 slices, cooked and crumbled
- • sausage links: 6, cooked and sliced
- • eggs: 6
- • heavy cream: 1 cup
- • whole milk: 1 cup
- • sharp cheddar cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- • mozzarella cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- • onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • fresh chives: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- • salt and pepper: to taste
- • butter: 2 tablespoons, for greasing
- • fresh parsley: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
- 2 In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until well combined. Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, chives, salt, and pepper.
- 3 Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is fully soaked. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the custard.
- 4 Layer half of the bread mixture in the prepared baking dish. Top evenly with crumbled bacon, sliced sausage, and half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- 5 Add the remaining bread mixture on top, followed by the rest of the cheese. Press down gently to compact the pudding slightly.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the center. The cheese should be bubbly and slightly caramelized.
- 7 Allow the bread pudding to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
