Savoury Bread Pudding Recipe

By Neha Mathur

Weekend is the time when we get to eat our meals together as a family and I really look forward to it. Throughout the week I look out for dishes which everyone will enjoy eating and I usually end up cooking Indian as that is the favourite choice. But this time I decided to make this bread pudding with lots of veggies hidden inside it and to my surprise, both my husband and son loved it.

Very easy to put together, this bread pudding is a perfect recipe for a brunch or for a family dinner as well. I used the Brioche bread that I baked recently to make this pudding. You can use any bread of your choice. So here is how I did it.
