Savory Bread Pudding with Ham and Swiss Cheese


Description

This Savory Bread Pudding recipe made with hearty bread, ham, swiss cheese, and eggs is an easy make-ahead main dish for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 loaf 6 grain bread, cubed (about 6 cups)
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups 1% milk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (about 4 ounces) diced swiss cheese
  • 1 cup (about 4 ounces) diced Frick's Hickory Smoked Sliced Gourmet Ham

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Add cubed bread to glass baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Dijon, and pepper.
  4. Stir in parmesan, swiss, and ham.
  5. Pour mixture over bread, and press down until bread soaks up mixture.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until egg is cooked through.
  7. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Day old bread works best to soak up mixture. I usually cube my bread the night before, and let sit on the counter overnight.
  • You can make this dish ahead of time, cover, and refrigerate overnight to bake in the morning.
  • It is also delicious served with warm maple syrup drizzled on top.
