"However you spell it, this Paula Deen dish is most unusual! No, her recipe didn't use the low fat ingredients. ;-) But weighing in at 29g fat/serving, the original almost made my heart stop just by reading the recipe."

Kind of savory bread pudding, very tasty. I did use somewhat less cheese and mayo, still scrumptious.

All the guests at my house yesterday liked this, well except my mother but she doesnt like cooked tomatoes that are not pureed. I didnt use all low fat ingredients because I didnt have them on hand. Other than that I made as directed with great results. This is a very diffrent and interesting dish I plan on making again.
