You are not going nuts guys. We are indeed making a SAVORY brunch recipe today.

I know.. I am getting really crazy over here. But this recipe is all mcjordO. He wanted to use up the challah from Brody’s naming. And I am all about using whatever we have on hand ingredient wise. And what do you know – we had some ground breakfast sausage in the freezer and cheese ready to rock.

We can think of this as a breakfast sandwich in bread pudding form if you will. Image sausage, egg and cheese on challah bread (YUM!). But we spiced things up a bit and made it into one large bread pudding. That way this is an easy meal to whip up for a larger group of people for the holidays, weekend, brunch, whenever. Plus you can even make this ahead of time then just under cook it a bit and finish cooking *right* before you serve.

If you love a little savory and sweet combo – this is epic with a maple syrup pour as well. You guys are going to love!
