Get your morning off to a great healthy and delicious start with this Savory Breakfast Bread Pudding.  It's jam-packed with flavor from all the food groups and REAL milk and cheese.  Thank you to REAL Seal for sponsoring this post in celebration of National Breakfast Week.

National Breakfast Week is coming up next week, March 6th - March 10th!  And of course an entire week should be dedicated to the most important meal of the day.  Don't you think?

In celebration of Breakfast Week, I've teamed up with REAL Seal dairy to help encourage parents, students, and schools to start mornings off with a healthy breakfast.

Because getting our bodies off to a good start improves school performance, work performance, and generally positively impacts every facet of our lives.

My encouragement for starting the day with a hearty, wholesome breakfast comes in the form of this totally tasty Savory Breakfast Bread Pudding.

Because what could be better to celebrate the week than diving into a bowl-full of tender, custard-y turkey sausage bread pudding loaded.

I love that this Breakfast Bread Pudding contains all four major food groups, making it a very well-balanced, nutrient-packed, wholesome breakfast.

It uses whole wheat bread as the base, which is then combined with eggs and REAL cream or milk to form the bread custard part of the dish.  Lean turkey sausage adds protein ... though you could certainly use regular pork sausage if you'd like.

Cherry tomatoes, green onions, and fresh basil add a veggie component, as well as add amazingly wonderful flavor.

I know some people might be thinking the cherry tomatoes are a bit of a weird element in the dish, but believe me, they taste wonderful in this bread pudding!  If you're totally opposed to tomatoes for breakfast, though, simply leave them out.  While the dish won't be quite as eye-catching, it'll still taste great.

Of course, the last layer of fabulous flavor comes from a generous sprinkling of part-skim REAL mozzarella cheese.

Oh, you've just got to love cheesy goodness, am I right?

This dish is fabulous served fresh out of the oven, but also re-heats well, too.  So if you'd like to prepare the bread pudding the night before to have one less thing on your morning to-do list, that works!

Just reheat the full dish or individual servings in the microwave.

Then grab your fork and dig in to a plate-full of Savory Breakfast Bread Pudding deliciousness to get your day off to a hearty and healthy start.
