For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and consider adding other vegetables such as sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted red peppers. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Fontina, Swiss, or sharp cheddar. If you don't have a baguette, you can use any type of crusty bread. Day-old bread works best. The bread pudding can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Serve warm as a brunch dish, side dish, or light meal.

Jun 12, 2025Be careful not to overbake it, or the bread will get too dry. I reduced the baking time by 5 minutes and it was perfect.
