1 cup finely chopped yellow onions
¼ cup finely chopped green bell peppers
¼ cup finely chopped red bell peppers
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons minced garlic
6 ounces hot sausages
8 large eggs
3 cups milk
½ cup heavy cream
1¼ teaspoons Emeril's Essence

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease a 3-quart casserole dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 1½ tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly caramelized, about 15 minutes.

In a medium skillet, melt the remaining ½ tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Add the sausage to the skillet and cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, cream, salt, Essence, and pepper and whisk to combine. Add the croissants and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the sausage, bacon, onions, Fontina cheese, stir together, and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Pour into the prepared dish and bake until almost completely set, 35-45 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil if it's browning too much.

In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, and melted butter. Uncover the pudding and evenly cover with the bread crumb mixture. Return to the oven, increase the heat to 375° F and bake until completely set in the center and golden brown on top, about 15 minutes.
