Midwestern Spinach & Cheese Savoury Bread Pudding

"I got this recipe yesterday from a recipe group and made it last night. The original recipe called for Jack cheese (and only half the amount), low fat milk, no garlic or onion or Parmesan and used white bread. I played with it and this is what I came up with. It turned out quite nicely as a side dish to Lamb chops but I imagine it would also make a lovely vegetarian main dish served with a salad on the side."

  1. This is a great use of leftover bread and I would totally make it again. I used a cheddar/jack blend for the cheese and I also added in some ham. Great texture and flavor. Thanks for posting!
