Casseroles and Crock-Pot meals are my go-to’s during the busy holidays and over night casseroles are even better. You simply mix everything together the night before, place in a casserole dish, cover, and set in the fridge. In the morning pop it in the oven and voila! You have a delicious breakfast for a crowd in about an hour! This casserole is inspired by the Southern Breakfast Casseroles by some of my faves like Trisha Yearwood and Paula Deen. But I switched it up a bit and used cubed French bread and more eggs to give it a soft custard like texture just like my favorite dessert: bread pudding! This savory Bread Pudding Breakfast Casserole is on my menu for Christmas morning and I know it is going to be a time saver and a new family favorite!

French Bread is a staple in our diet here in Louisiana and we eat it with just about any soup or pasta dish. I knew it would be perfect for this Southern themed casserole.
You can use any loaf bread and just cut into 1 inch cubes.
Add the cubed bread to a greased 9×13 baking dish.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add sausage.
Crumble the sausage and cook until browned then drain on a paper towel lined plate.
Top the bread with the cooked sausage.
Now add cheese. Lots of cheese.
Time for the good stuff- eggs and cream!
In a large bowl add half and half, eggs, and seasonings. Whisk until combined.
Pour this egg mixture over the cheese.
