Bacon Egg and Cheese Bread Pudding

This bread pudding gives you your eggs, toast & bacon all in one dish plus everything is coated in gooey melted cheddar cheese. Whipped up the night before & refrigerated, it made for a weekend breakfast treat.


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.
