Arugula, Bacon & Swiss Bread Pudding

February 23, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

I am a fan of bread pudding, both sweet and savory. I love to make a savory bread pudding in place of a vegetable side. This recipe for Arugula, Bacon & Swiss Bread Pudding uses arugula as the vegetable in the bread pudding but you could also use spinach or swiss chard in its place.

The eggs in the dish makes the bread puff up and become very moist. The bacon and swiss cheese gives this dish the salty & savory portion of this recipe.
