Sausage and Caramelized Onion Bread Pudding

(4 servings)

  • 1 and 1/3 cups low fat milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg white
  • 8 slices of day-old French bread (cut into 1 inch cubes)
  • cooking spray
  • 2 cups yellow onion - chopped
  • 1/4 cup apple juice
  • 4 ounces turkey breakfast sausage
  • 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese - divided
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine first 5 ingredients (through eggs) and beat well with a whisk. Add bread and toss gently to coat. Let bread mixture stand for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray and add onion. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add juice and cook 5 additional minutes. Crumble sausage into the pan and cook until brown (5 minutes). Remove from heat. Add sausage/onion mixture to bread mixture with 1/2 the cheese and stir to combine.

Spray a 8 inch square baking dish with cooking spray, spoon in bread and sausage mixture and top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until set and cheese is browned. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
