Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the sausage and brown until almost fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the onion, celery, and garlic and saut\u00e9 until the onion is transparent. Remove from the pan and cool slightly. Pour off and reserve the oil and sausage fat as well. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, butter, chives, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour over the croissant pieces and blend well. Stir in the sausage, vegetables, and reserved oil. Pour into the prepared dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 30 minutes, or until the pudding is set up in the middle. Turn the oven to broil. Uncover, sprinkle with the Parmesan and cheddar, and place under the broiler until the cheese is browned. Serve hot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day-Old Croissant and Sausage \u201cBread Pudding &nbsp; 8 cups torn or cubed 1- or 2-day-old croissants 2 T. olive oil 12 oz. spicy breakfast sausage, crumbled, or smoked link sausage, thinly sliced 1\u00bd cups finely diced yellow onion \u00be cup diced celery 1 T. minced garlic 10 eggs 2\u00bd cups milk 1 cup heavy cream \u00bd cup butter, melted \u00bd cup chopped fresh chives \u00bd cup chopped fresh parsley 1 tsp. salt 2 tsp. black pepper \u00bd cup grated Parmesan&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/?p=38463\"> Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[178,30,97],"class_list":["post-38463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-breakfasts","tag-eggs","tag-holiday","tag-sausage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38463"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38463\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38465,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38463\/revisions\/38465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
