Best Savory Bacon And Cheese Bread Pudding Recipes
SAVORY LEEK AND BACON BREAD PUDDING
Bread pudding has a sweet image, but you gotta try the savory version! It's amazing. Savory bread puddings are so easy to make and they're inexpensive, tasty, and comforting. I hope you like this one -- you can leave the bacon out if you just want a veggie version and/or add other veggies, too.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place baguette cubes onto a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until dry, about 15 minutes. Remove bread and set aside. Keep oven on.
- Meanwhile, warm oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and cook until softened but not brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Whisk milk and eggs together in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Grease a casserole dish with cooking spray; sprinkle a thin layer of Gruyere cheese on the bottom.
- Top Gruyere with 1/2 of the toasted bread cubes. Spread leeks over bread cubes and sprinkle diced bacon on top. Top with more cheese, reserving about half. Ladle 1/2 of the milk mixture over bread, leeks, bacon, and cheese. Slightly press bread cubes down into the milk. Layer remaining bread across the top, and continue layering leeks and bacon. Ladle remaining milk on top. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the casserole. Slightly press bread cubes down into the milk.
- Let casserole sit for 15 minutes.
- Cover casserole very loosely with aluminum foil so cheese does not melt against it. Place casserole dish on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and bake until cheese and bread cubes are well browned on top, 10 to 15 minutes more.

SCARBOROUGH FAIR - SAVOURY BACON, ONION AND HERB BREAD PUDDING
I named this dish after my home town, Scarborough, in the North of England - and yes, they really do have a "Scarborough Fayre" every year! And, this recipe does contain "parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme"! This is a very old recipe for savoury bread pudding - often served before the meal, just as Yorkshire Pudding used to be, to take the edge of your appetite & stop you eating too much meat! I added the bacon, but normally it is just made with pounded stale bread mixed with herbs, chives or onions, eggs and any dripping that was available. A delicious savoury dish - serve it with lashings of onion gravy as a light supper, brunch or lunch dish, or as an appetiser, also with gravy. This makes a wonderful accompaniment to roast pork and roast chicken. I have also been known to eat slices of this cold & it's ideal for picnics. Don't throw your crusts away, but process them in a food mixer and freeze them in zip-lock bags.....voila, ready made bread crumbs!

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 190C/375F/gas mark 5.
- Grease a large baking dish or tray about 12" by 8" in size.
- Tear the bread into small pieces and pour the hot stock over the bread - mix well and allow to soak for about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon over a medium to high heat; as soon as the fat starts to run, add the chopped onions. Stirring the bacon and onions constantly, cook them together for about 15-20 minutes, or until the onions are soft and the bacon is crisp.
- Add the bacon and onion mixture to the soaked bread and mix well.
- Add the rest of the ingredients - continue to mix them together thoroughly.
- Pour the bread pudding into the greased dish or tray, level the mixture out with a spoon and bake for 40 to 50 minutes until well risen, firm to the touch and golden brown.
- Take out of the oven and allow to "rest" for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.
- Serves 4 people as a light supper or lunch dish with gravy and 6 people as an appetiser, also with gravy if you wish.
- Also great for picnics, brunch or breakfast.
