This is one of my all time favorites - kids and adults love it alike.
Perfect side dish OR main course! I've made this several times now and I basically make it as stated. However I do make it with fresh bread as the stores around me quickly run out of bread cubes around the holidays. And I use fresh spinach. I love Stove Top stuffing but the last time I made it I started thinking that this big blob of carbs and salt with a stick of butter floating in it PROBABLY was not very good for me. So I started making this savory pudding instead and I have never looked back. It's SO much better! My husband and I have a scoop each as a side dish for holiday dinners then split the rest of it as a main course the next night. I love the way the gruyere cheese on top gets crunchy in the oven! Pros: delicious full of veggies fairly low in calories Cons: time consuming!
A Question Does anyone have a suggestion to create stale bread without it molding mold is a real problem where I live. Do you think if I toast the bread it will have the same results as stale bread?
Wonderful This is the second time I made this recipe the first time I followed it exactly and it was wonderful. I thought this time I would try using egg whites (used 6) instead of the 4 whole eggs. I also used reduced fat cheddar to bring the calories down even more. However I added about 8 oz. of turkey breakfast sausage 1 tsp dried basil and replaced the spinach with steamed finely chopped collard greens (had it growing in the garden). Topped it with a little low fat sour cream...WOW it was really good.
Made this exactly as the recipe states and it turned out wonderfully. Very delicious.
Savory Bread Pudding with Spinach and Mushrooms I love this dish. I put my veggies at the bottom of the dish and poured the egg mixture over the veggies and topped with the cheese. Absolutely LOVE it. Will be making it again real soon. Pros: Great taste and great presentation
This is the first recipe I ever made from Eating Well years ago and is one of my favorites. A little time consuming but well worth it.
My wife made this with kale to cut down on the oxalic acid and with half egg whites and half whole eggs to cut down on the cholesterol. It was still fantastic! It took awhile for her to prepare it but it was definitely worth it in my opinion.
