Time 50m

Yield 6 appetizer or 12 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 slices thick-cut bacon
4 ounces breakfast sausage, casing removed
4 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One small loaf brioche or challah (about 14 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
1 cup shredded Cheddar
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped scallion

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the bacon, closely spaced, on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, flipping halfway through, until the fat is rendered and the bacon is lightly browned but not at all crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, add the sausage to a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Drain alongside the bacon.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Beat the eggs and half-and-half in a large bowl. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of black pepper. Fold in the bread cubes and the cooked sausage and let soak for 5 minutes.
  • In a 12-cup muffin tin, line each cup with a slice of the bacon, making a ring so the ends overlap. Divide the bread mixture among the cups, using a tablespoon to keep it neat. Sprinkle the tops with half of the Cheddar, followed by the red pepper and scallion and then the rest of the Cheddar.
  • Bake until puffed and golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 20 minutes. Remove the bread puddings from the muffin tin with a fork. Serve hot or warm.
