Ham, Fontina, and Spinach Bread Pudding image

Categories     Cheese     Pork     Vegetable     Broil     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large baguette (about 3/4 pound)
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
2 onions, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound cooked ham, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 large eggs
1 quart whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
6 cups spinach leaves (about 1 bunch), coarsely chopped
3/4 pound Fontina cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Diagonally cut baguette crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices and brush both sides with butter. Toast on a baking sheet under broiler 3 inches from heat until golden, about 30 seconds on each side.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Sauté onions in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add ham and sauté, stirring occasionally, until ham is lightly browned.
  • Whisk eggs in a large bowl and whisk in milk, salt, nutmeg, and pepper to taste. Add toasted bread and toss gently. Transfer bread as saturated to a shallow 3-quart casserole, slightly overlapping slices. Add any remaining egg mixture.
  • Tuck spinach and ham between slices, reserving a little ham to sprinkle over top. Sprinkle cheese over pudding, lifting slices with a spatula to allow some to fall between them. Sprinkle reserved ham over pudding and bake in middle of oven 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until puffed and edges of bread are golden and custard is set in middle.

I've made this bread pudding several times now, and it's always a hit. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

This bread pudding was a great way to use up leftover ham and spinach. It was also a really easy dish to make.

I'm not a big fan of bread pudding, but I really enjoyed this recipe. It was moist and flavorful, and the ham and spinach were a great combination.

This bread pudding was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less ham next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread pudding turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread pudding didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The bread was a little too soggy, and the flavors didn't meld together as well as I would have liked.

This bread pudding was a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or cream next time.
