Savory Bread Pudding With Sausage

Servings 8 people

Ingredients
  

Savory Bread Pudding

  • 8 cups good day old sourdough bread, cubed in 1 inch pieces
  • 2 lbs Italian sausage
  • 15 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1.5 cups Gruyere cheese
  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped rosemary
  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped thyme
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
  • 2 cups spinach, sauteed

Instructions
 

  • Add the bread cubes to a very large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl beat together the eggs, milk, cream, cheese and herbs. 
  • Set the mixture aside and cook the sausage in the stove over medium heat. Cook the sausage until it's not longer pink. This will take about 10 minutes.
  •  When done add the sausage to the bread cubes. Saute the spinach in the same pan as the sausage was cooked in. Saute until soft which will only take a minute or two. Add the spinach to the bread cubes and sausage. 
  • Mix well before adding the egg mixture. Add the egg mixture and mix everything together well. Season generously with salt and pepper. 
  • Let the bread pudding sit for at least an hour or even overnight before baking. 
  • When ready bake in a 375 degree oven for 30-45 minutes.
