SPINACH AND TASSO BREAD PUDDING WITH GRUYERE CHEESE
This is a "stuffed" savory bread pudding that's perfect for a Sunday brunch. Rather than just jumble everything together, you do it in three layers -- bottom layer of dried or stale French bread, a layer of spinach, tasso and cheese, and more bread on top. It's easy to prepare the day before, so all you have to do on Sunday morning is pop it in the oven. Recipe by Chef Chuck Taggert.

Steps:
- Slice the bread into 1/2" slices and let dry out overnight.
- You may also dry them in a 200-225°F oven for about 30-40 minutes until they're completely dried; make sure you don't brown them.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy skillet (don't use non-stick).
- Add the diced tasso.
- Brown the tasso for 5 minutes until some of the fat has been rendered out and you've got some nice brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from pan, drain on papertowels and set aside.
- Add the wine to the pan, making sure to scrape up all the browned bits.
- Reduce the wine by half.
- Pour out into a large bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter with the rest of the olive oil.
- Add the onions and garlic.
- Sauté for about 3 minutes, until onions are translucent.
- Add the spinach water and let it reduce.
- Add the chopped spinach.
- Continue to cook for 3 minutes, making sure that there's hardly any moisture left.
- Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl.
- Add the half-and-half.
- Add the molasses, Worcestershire, hot sauce, the reduced wine, about 2 teaspoons of salt, plenty of fresh ground black pepper and Creole seasoning to taste.
- Butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking dish.
- Make one layer of dried bread slices on the bottom.
- Use little broken-off pieces if you need to fill any little spaces.
- Cover the bread evenly with the spinach mixture.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1/3 of the grated cheese.
- Spread the diced tasso evenly over the cheese.
- Season with more Creole seasoning and pepper.
- Sprinkle with more cheese.
- Add a second layer of bread,filling the holes with broken pieces as needed.
- Give the custard a final mix with the whisk and pour evenly over the entire surface of the bread, making sure you wet everything.
- Season the top with more black pepper and Creole seasoning, the remaining cheese and a sprinkling of salt.
- Wrap the pudding in plastic wrap.
- Weigh the top down with a couple of boxes of brown sugar, a bag or rice or whatever you have available.
- This helps compress the layers of the pudding so that the custard will soak all the way through allowing it to cook more evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When ready to cook,take the pudding out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325-350°F for about one hour, until the edges and center are puffy.
- Let the pudding cool for about 5 minutes.
- Slice and serve.

MIDWESTERN SPINACH & CHEESE SAVOURY BREAD PUDDING
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.

LOW CARB SPINACH-CHEESE "BREAD"
Makes a great sandwich wrapper. Make thick or thin, depending on your desires. Stays flexible, yet is sturdy enough to stand up to fillings. Add herbs or spices to vary the flavor - caraway seeds give the illusion of a rye type bread. My favorite way is to make thin for a wrap, seasoned with some garlic and cayenne pepper.

Steps:
- Thaw spinach, then squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Place the dry spinach in a bowl and break up into small clumps.
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet or pan with parchment paper, or spray well with non-stick spray.
- Add remaining ingredients to spinach and stir to break up the spinach into small pieces and combine the ingredients well.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan.
- Bake about 20 minutes, or until dry and turning golden brown.
- Remove from oven, loosen from parchment paper, let cool. Cut into desired serving sized pieces.
- I usually use a cookie sheet that measures 10x13, the batter spreads out to about 1/4 inch in this pan. When it is cooked it makes a thickish wrapper that can be rolled up around whatever ingredients. You can use a smaller pan to have thicker "bread" if desired.
- Keeps well in a plastic bag for a couple of days. I have never had enough to last longer than that, it usually gets eaten by the second day.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a better flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you are using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly before using.
- Chop the spinach finely: This will help to distribute the spinach evenly throughout the bread.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this bread, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the bread rise in a warm place: This will help the bread to rise properly and result in a light and fluffy loaf.
- Bake the bread until golden brown: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Spinach cheese bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover spinach and cheese, and it is also a great bread to serve at parties or potlucks. This bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
