Everyone’s favorite Eggs Benedict brunch but in an easy to make bread pudding style!

Eggs Benedict Bread Pudding

This post is sponsored by Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs.

Brunch must be one of my favorite times to eat. Let’s face it, you get to sleep in later than normal and still don’t have to wait until lunchtime before you have something awesome to eat! And usually, the choices on a brunch menu are pretty epic, including eggs benedict.

But making eggs benedict can be tricky especially for a crowd, that’s why I made you an easy eggs benedict bread pudding. It still has all the same key ingredients as a regular eggs benedict, even the hollandaise sauce but this version is better prepared the night before meaning you can probably score yourself an extra hour in bed the morning of your brunch!

Eggs Benedict Bread Pudding with hollandaise sauce

I used a chewy sourdough boule for the bread, you could use English muffins as the base but I love the sour taste of the boule. My liquid mixture for any kind of bread pudding is always a combination of whole milk and heavy cream along with a few eggs. In this case Pete and Gerry’s Organic Free Range Eggs. Because they’re hormone and pesticide free you can be sure that the eggs in your bread pudding are the eggs you want to share with your family! No antibiotics or GMO’s are ever used either making Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs the best choice for your shopping cart!

You can’t have eggs benedict without ham, so I chopped some Canadian bacon steaks into cubes and added that to my mixture along with some fresh rosemary and chives for an extra savory taste.

Complete your eggs benedict bread pudding with a heavy sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and bake in the oven until things get golden and slightly crunchy on top.

You can make your own hollandaise sauce from scratch, I’ve added the recipe below. but I’ve seen some really good refrigerated versions in some stores.

Serve warm and pour a little of the hollandaise sauce over the bread pudding for so many awesome happy brunch memories!
