A golden, airy bread pudding with a cheesy, custard-like center
Easy "Souffle" recipe image

This comforting dish is essentially a savory bread pudding that rises beautifully like a soufflé. It uses simple pantry staplesâÂÂstale bread cubes, grated cheese, and a rich egg-and-milk custard infused with dry mustard. The result is a tender, custardy interior with a slightly crisp, buttery top. ItâÂÂs an excellent way to use up leftover bread and makes for a hearty brunch or a quick, elegant side dish. The dry mustard adds a subtle warmth that complements the cheese perfectly. Serve it warm directly from the oven for the best texture.

Description

This comforting dish is essentially a savory bread pudding that rises beautifully like a souffl&# 195;©. It uses simple pantry staplesâÂÂstale bread cubes, grated cheese, and a rich egg-and-milk custard infused with dry mustard. The result is a tender, custardy interior with a slightly crisp, buttery top. ItâÂÂs an excellent way to use up leftover bread and makes for a hearty brunch or a quick, elegant side dish. The dry mustard adds a subtle warmth that complements the cheese perfectly. Serve it warm directly from the oven for the best texture.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Butter both sides of the bread slices and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole.
  4. Spread half of the bread cubes evenly in the bottom of the dish.
  5. Sprinkle half of the grated cheese over the bread cubes.
  6. Add the remaining bread cubes and top with the rest of the cheese.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and dry mustard until smooth.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and cheese layers.
  9. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure the bread is submerged.
  10. Let the dish stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  11. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  12. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
