Are you one of those people who's Thanksgiving preparation actually starts early in the morning? There's always so much to get ready for the afternoon feast that breakfast can often end up getting the short end of the stick, but it doesn't need to be like that.
I'm all for making Thanksgiving an easy day. Prepare this sausage cheese asparagus savory bake the night before and all you need to do is chuck it in the oven after you make your coffee if you're like me.
Seriously folks it's the first thing I do every morning. You could even head back to bed for an hour while the bread pudding is baking...if you don't have an 8 year old and a 3 year old.
If you do have said children, then yeah you're getting up. But you could still use your time wisely and after typing out numerous "Happy Thanksgiving" tweets you could have the turkey resting at room temperature and water boiling for the potatoes.
This bread pudding is packed with flavor but the deal sealer is the cheese. I used Kerrygold Skellig Cheddar.
This is a sweet hard cheese which reminds me of a young Parmesan. It's sweet but with a salty aftertaste and would be prefect in a pasta sauce, or even just grated on top like Parmesan.
I added it in layers much like building a lasagna, this way you get to taste all of the flavors in every bite. Make the most of November 28, but be sure to start as soon as you open your eyes!
This dish could be made straight away and doesn't need to sit overnight, but try to let it sit and soak for at least 30 minutes if you prefer to cook it this way.
