Bread pudding is one of my favorite desserts of all time, but there’s no reason it should be strictly relegated to the sweet category. Savory bread puddings are hearty and filling, and this one features the flavors of ham, apple and applewood smoked Gouda cheese. Sharp cheddar would be amazing also!
Ingredients
- 3 whole Eggs
- 1-½ cup Milk (whole, Skim Or Almond Are Fine)
- ¼ teaspoons Allspice
- ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoons Thyme
- ⅛ teaspoons Nutmeg
- 8 slices Whole Wheat Bread, Cut Into Cubes
- 1 whole Tart Apple, Like Granny Smith, Cored And Diced
- 8 ounces, weight Chopped, Cubed Ham
- 1 cup Shredded Applewood Smoked Gouda Or Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Butter, Melted
Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and spices. Add bread cubes and stir well making sure to coat all the bread. Let it stand for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Add the apple, ham and half of the cheese to the soaked bread. Stir to combine then pour the mixture into a 9 x 9 baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter on top and cover with the remaining cheese. Let it stand for 10 more minutes to allow the bread to continue soaking up the liquid.
Bake for 40 minutes, until set and lightly browned.
