Ingredients
- 1 lrg baguette - (abt 3/4 lb)
- 2 ounce unsalted butter - (1/2 stick) melted
- 2 x onions minced
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb cooked ham cut 1/2" cubes
- 4 lrg Large eggs
- 4 c. whole lowfat milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly-grated nutmeg Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
- 6 c. spinach leaves - (abt 1 bunch) coarsely minced
- 3/4 lb fontina grated
Directions
- Preheat broiler.
- Diagonally cut baguette crosswise into 3/4-inch thick slices and brush both sides with butter. Toast on a baking sheet under broiler 3 inches from heat till golden brown, about 30 seconds on each side. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook onions in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately-high heat, stirring occasionally, till golden brown. Add in ham and cook, stirring occasionally, till ham is lightly browned.
- Whisk Large eggs in a large bowl and whisk in lowfat milk, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Add in toasted bread and toss gently. When the bread is saturated, transfer it to a shallow 3-qt casserole, slightly overlapping slices. Add in any remaining egg mix.
- Tuck spinach and ham between slices, reserving a little ham to sprinkle over top. Sprinkle cheese over pudding, lifting slices with a spatula to allow some to fall between them. Sprinkle reserved ham over pudding and bake in middle of oven till puffed and edges of bread are golden brown and custard is set in middle, about 45 min to 1 hour.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
- Comments: Bread pudding can be assembled 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Increase baking time to 1 hour and 10 min if bread pudding is cool when put in oven, and cover top with foil after 45 min to prevent over-browning.
