Midwestern Spinach & Cheese Savoury Bread Pudding image

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.

This bread pudding is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved it, and they didn't even realize they were eating spinach.

This bread pudding was a lot of work to make, and it wasn't worth it. I wouldn't make it again.

I found the bread pudding to be a bit bland. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time.

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

This Midwestern-style spinach-cheese savory bread pudding was a hit at our family dinner! The flavors of the spinach, cheese, and bread were perfectly balanced, and the texture was wonderfully moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.
