Tips
  • Use day-old bread for the best texture and flavor. Fresh bread will make the pudding too soggy.
  • If you don't have any leftover bread, you can make your own bread cubes by cutting bread into 1-inch cubes and toasting them in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • You can use any type of bread you like, but a sturdy bread like sourdough or French bread will hold up better in the pudding.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to add flavor and richness to the pudding. Cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère are all good choices.
  • Add some vegetables to the pudding for a healthy twist. Broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots are all good options.
  • Season the pudding with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Bake the pudding in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  • Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
