Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Breakfast & Brunch

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 pound sweet or spicy pork sausage (casings removed)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 loaf (18 slices) white sandwich bread, such as Pepperidge Farm, crusts removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
2½ cups (a little over ½ pound) grated sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
6 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
Scant teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with butter.
  • In a large sauté pan (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the sausage and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break the meat into small clumps, until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a large mixing bowl, leaving the fat in the pan.
  • Turn the heat down to medium, then add the onions to the pan along with 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook the onions, stirring constantly, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the onions to the mixing bowl with the sausage, along with the bread cubes, grated cheese and parsley. Toss well, then spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture. Cover tightly with saran wrap and refrigerate for at least a few hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for about one hour, uncovered, until puffed and golden brown. Serve immediately.
  • Note: The cook time is based on cooking the bread pudding directly out of the refrigerator. If it's left to sit out at room temperature before baking, check for doneness after 45 minutes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 cups 1/2-inch cubes brioche, crusts removed
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 cup finely chopped butternut squash
4 leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more for garnish
4 large eggs
2 cups grated Gruyere

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease six 12-ounce ramekins with 2 tablespoons of the butter and set aside on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Spread the brioche on a second rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and squash and cook, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon, until the sausage is browned and the squash is tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the leeks, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and continue to cook, stirring often, until the leeks are wilted and softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together the chicken broth, cream, parsley, chives and eggs in a medium bowl. Add half the brioche to the ramekins. Divide the sausage mixture among the ramekins; top with 1 cup of the Gruyere and the remaining brioche. Pour the egg mixture over and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Gruyere.
  • Set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture. Bake on the baking sheet until the custard is set and the bread pudding is puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chives before serving.
