We love breakfast meals that can be prepped and assembled the night before. Our Homemade Cinnamon rolls are a favorite sweet recipe that can be done the evening before and finished in the morning for fresh sweet rolls. We also have a savory Sausage Breakfast Casserole and a Smokey Zucchini Casserole for a hearty, healthier start to your day.

Does Bread Pudding keep overnight?

Bread Pudding is a great make ahead dish that can be assembled and stored in the fridge the night before a busy morning. Simply prep the ingredients in your baking dish, cover and place in your fridge. Just bake it in the morning!

It also reheats well, if you have leftovers they can be stored in the fridge for 3 days. When you are ready to finish them up, simply remove and reheat for a few minutes in your microwave.

Why is my Bread Pudding mushy?

If you are finding that your Bread Pudding bakes mushy, there are a few things you can try to prevent this from happening

• Let the bread sit out and become slightly stale. This will reduce the moisture in the bread which will help it retain its shape and texture during the baking process.
• You can toast the bread slightly before assembling the bread pudding if you wish.
• Be mindful of your overall liquid ratio. Too much liquid is usually the main culprit in soggy Bread Puddings.
• Try swapping out the fruits you use. Opt for fruits with lower liquid content, and toss berries in a light dusting of flour to help absorb the juices that they release during the baking process.
