As the chilly fall weather sets in, I find myself craving hearty comfort foods that warm me from the inside out. Today, I’m excited to share a unique and delicious recipe for savory spinach bread pudding that is sure to become a new favorite in your home.

Ingredients:

• French bread (300g)
• Fresh spinach (200g)
• Cooked ham (150g)
• Gruyère cheese (100g)
• Eggs (4 large)
• Milk (400ml)
• Dijon mustard (2 tbsp)
• Salt (1 tsp)
• Black pepper (1/2 tsp)

Kitchen Tools:

• ovenproof dish
• knife
• cutting board
• whisk
• mixing bowl

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Cut the French bread into cubes and roughly chop the fresh spinach. Dice the cooked ham and shred the Gruyère cheese.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Add the bread cubes, chopped spinach, diced ham, and shredded Gruyère cheese to the bowl, stirring gently to coat everything in the egg mixture.

Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set.

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This savory spinach bread pudding is best enjoyed warm, with a side salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

This recipe yields approximately 6 servings, with each serving weighing around 300g. One serving of this savory spinach bread pudding is approximately 350 calories.

One clever tip to make this dish even more delicious is to add a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg to the egg mixture before baking. The warm, fragrant spice adds an extra layer of flavor that will elevate this dish to new heights.

I hope you give this savory spinach bread pudding a try in your kitchen soon. Feel free to get creative with the ingredients and make it your own by adding different herbs, cheeses, or proteins. Enjoy!
