National Breakfast Week is coming up next week, March 6th - March 10th! And of course an entire week should be dedicated to the most important meal of the day. Don't you think?
In celebration of Breakfast Week, I've teamed up with REAL® Seal dairy to help encourage parents, students, and schools to start mornings off with a healthy breakfast.
Because getting our bodies off to a good start improves school performance, work performance, and generally positively impacts every facet of our lives.
I love that this Breakfast Bread Pudding contains all four major food groups, making it a very well-balanced, nutrient-packed, wholesome breakfast.
My encouragement for starting the day with a hearty, wholesome breakfast comes in the form of this totally tasty Savory Breakfast Bread Pudding.
Because what could be better to celebrate the week than diving into a bowl-full of tender, custard-y turkey sausage bread pudding loaded with great REAL® dairy flavor?
Compared to its imitators, REAL® Seal products, like the REAL® milk and mozzarella cheese in this Breakfast Bread Pudding, contain a unique package of nine essential nutrients that people of all ages need. Visit REAL® Seal on Facebook or REAL® Seal on Pinterest to learn more.
And look for the red REAL® Seal drop emblem when shopping to be sure you're getting genuine U.S.-made dairy products!
It uses whole wheat bread as the base, which is then combined with eggs and REAL® cream or milk to form the bread custard part of the dish. Lean turkey sausage adds protein ... though you could certainly use regular pork sausage if you'd like.
Cherry tomatoes, green onions, and fresh basil add a veggie component, as well as add amazingly wonderful flavor.
I know some people might be thinking the cherry tomatoes are a bit of a weird element in the dish, but believe me, they taste wonderful in this bread pudding! If you're totally opposed to tomatoes for breakfast, though, simply leave them out. While the dish won't be quite as eye-catching, it'll still taste great.
This dish is fabulous served fresh out of the oven, but also re-heats well, too.
Of course, the last layer of fabulous flavor comes from a generous sprinkling of part-skim REAL® mozzarella cheese.
Oh, you've just got to love cheesy goodness, am I right?
This dish is fabulous served fresh out of the oven, but also re-heats well, too. So if you'd like to prepare the bread pudding the night before to have one less thing on your morning to-do list, that works!
Just reheat the full dish or individual servings in the microwave.
Then grab your fork and dig in to a plate-full of Savory Breakfast Bread Pudding deliciousness to get your day off to a hearty and healthy start.
Thank you for stopping by . We'd love to have you back soon!

How to cook Savory Breakfast Bread Pudding
- In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and basil. Add bread and let mixture stand while you prepare the rest of the recipe, stirring occasionally, to allow bread to absorb most of the liquid.
- Place oil in a skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add sausage, breaking it into crumbles; cook until no longer pink. Drain any grease and add cooked sausage to the bread mixture.
- Add green onions and tomatoes to the same skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add to bread mixture; stir to combine.
- Pour into a 7x11-inch pan or small baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle top evenly with mozzarella.
- Bake at 375℉ for 30 - 35 minutes until puffy and lightly browned.
