Today I wanted to share a delicious recipe I created for brunch this week using all the leftover bread crusts I had from my kiddos sandwiches. I loaded this bread pudding with all my favorite brunch foods including eggs, bacon, and lots of Gouda cheese.
Ingredients:
- 5 cups leftover bread crusts, chopped
- 8 slices maple bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups Gouda {or Fontina cheese}, shredded
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- salt/white pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease an 8X8 baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, cream, maple syrup, allspice, and salt and pepper.
- Mix well.
- Add chopped bread and lightly push down until the bread is covered and is soaking up the egg mixture.
- Now mix in chopped bacon and 1 cup shredded Guoda cheese.
- Pour into the baking dish and top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35-40 minutes until cooked through.
- Slice into squares and serve hot.
I saved all the leftover bread crusts from a loaf of bread for this recipe.
My kiddos went through a phase where they didn’t want crusts on their sandwiches and I hated to waste it!
In a large bowl, combine eggs, cream, maple syrup, allspice, and salt and pepper.
Mix well with a whisk.
Add chopped bread and lightly push down until the bread is covered.
Make sure the bread soaking up the egg mixture.
Now mix in chopped bacon.
Then add 1 cup shredded Guoda cheese.
Pour into a greased baking dish.
Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
Slice into squares and serve hot.
Hope you like this recipe as much as my family and I did!
