This dish is always a hit at gatherings—it’s the first thing everyone devours.

Savory bread pudding is one of those comforting dishes that feels like a warm hug after a long day. Originating as a way to use up stale bread, this dish has transformed into a versatile favorite that can be customized with various ingredients. My version with spinach and cheese is a delightful blend of flavors and textures, perfect for a cozy dinner or a weekend brunch. It’s a great way to sneak in some greens while indulging in cheesy goodness. Plus, it’s easy to prepare ahead of time, making it a lifesaver for busy weekdays.

This savory bread pudding pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette, which adds a refreshing contrast to the richness of the dish. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside roasted vegetables or a bowl of tomato soup. A glass of crisp white wine or a light beer would also complement the flavors beautifully.
