Ingredients

12 servings
  • Bread, Sourdough, Sliced(454g)
  • Squash, Butternut(720g)
  • Kale(720g)
  • Yellow Onion
  • Cheddar Cheese(120g)
  • Mozzarella Cheese(120g)

    Part-skim mozzarella. Pre-shredded bags are convenient for meal prep.

  • Chicken Bouillon, Dry(10g)
  • 2 cups hot water ($0.00)
  • Egg, Whole, Large
  • Cream, Heavy Whipping(120g)
  • 1 Tbsp poultry seasoning ($0.66)
  • 1 tsp salt ($0.02)
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper ($0.08)
  • Andouille Sausage, Pork, Smoked(369g)

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 350F. Toast the sourdough cubes in the oven until dried out and just lightly toasted, about 15 minutes.
  2. 2Meanwhile, gather the butternut squash, kale, yellow onion, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
  3. 3Make chicken broth using bouillon* and hot water. Then, combine eggs, heavy cream, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, whisking to combine. Roughly chop the andouille sausage.
  4. 4Toss all vegetables, cheese, and sausage together.
  5. 5Transfer to a large 9X13 casserole dish, folding in the bread cubes once they are done toasting. Your baking dish will be comically full! But don’t worry, the next step will help you make sure everything fits:
  6. 6Pour the chicken broth over your bread pudding ingredients.
  7. 7Then, pour the egg and cream mixture on top. Gently press the mixture down into the pan.** Let the dish sit to absorb the liquids for 30 minutes to an hour in the refrigerator before baking.
  8. 8Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Most likely, the bread on top will begin to brown before the bread pudding is done baking, so I recommend having a same-size sheet of tinfoil available to gently lay on top once it has browned to your liking while it finishes baking.
