Chicken Sausage & Cheddar Cheese Breakfast Bake

"If you’re hosting out-of-town guests, enjoyed one too many Egg Nogs, or just need a break before attempting the meal prep that accompanies the myriad holiday celebrations at this time of year, rev your oven and welcome Trader Joe’s Chicken Sausage & Cheddar Cheese Breakfast Bake to the brunch buffet!

This savory bread pudding was inspired by a homemade breakfast casserole recipe one might assemble the night before hosting a holiday breakfast or brunch. Generous amounts of Cheddar Cheese and meaty Chicken Sausage commingle among a base of hearty Italian bread, soaked in a velvety, seasoned egg custard, and baked just until set—a rib-sticking, cozy concoction of the highest order. Once you get this Breakfast Bake home, all it takes is about 30 minutes of oven time (or a third of that in the microwave!) and you’ve got an easy main for four. Serve it on a brunch buffet with A Fruitful Medley and a pitcher of Organic Orange Juice, or go the breakfast-for-dinner route and pair it with a crisp green salad. Yes! For a limited time, pick up a Chicken Sausage & Cheddar Cheese Breakfast Bake from the freezer case at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s, check one more thing off your holiday to-do list, and dig in!"
