One of the many reasons I love the weekends is breakfast. I don't have to eat oatmeal or cereal or a bagel. I can take a bit more time and get up a bit earlier to make waffles, pancakes, crepes, french toast and breakfast souffle's.
This recipe is a bacon and egg bread pudding. A savory bread pudding. Now that is my idea of a bread pudding.
Bacon & Egg Bread Pudding
Adapted from A Good Appetite
3 slices of bacon, chopped
2 c bread cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 eggs
1/2 c milk
1.5 oz grated cheddar
salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until it is crispy. Drain on a paper towel & set aside until cool.
In a bowl mix together the cooled bacon, bread & 1 oz of the cheese. Divide between to 1 1/2 c ramekins. Whisk the eggs & milk together, salt & pepper. Pour over the bread in the ramekins. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Let sit for at least 30 minutes for the bread to soak in the milk & egg. You can also make these the night before, cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate.
Bake for 35 - 45 minutes until the pudding is puffed up & golden brown.
I found this recipe to be quick and delicious. Filled with bacon, cheese, and eggy goodness.

Ooh sounds yummy!! We have something similar with ham that we make for family holiday brunches. I like this in the ramekins - nice portioning for everyone. That is a cute ramekin too - love the blue!
