Easy “Souffle”

Easy "Souffle" recipe image
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.
