Cheese and Pineapple Bread Pudding

I love holidays a lot and my family too, sharing and spending time together are great things about this events, the only part that I don’t really like is the amount of leftovers I have during this times of the year.
Sometimes we eat leftovers for like a week, specially in thanksgiving, and by the time we finish I don’t really know what else to make with turkey; for easter, it very similar, but easier for me to create different recipes for my family to enjoy.
This time I have lots of bread, and the perfect way for me to use day old bread it’s to make bread pudding. This is a great recipe if you want a bread pudding with a different twist, cheese and pineapple are the perfect combinations to make it more interesting and a little different from everything else.
Not very sweet and cook to perfection, is definitely a new favorite in my house and maybe the new request for our easter dinner.
Enjoy.

INGREDIENTS

  • Any kind of day old bread that you have, cut in pieces.
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 1 can evaporate milk
  • 1/2 cup asiago cheese, grated
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 stick melted butter
  • 1 small can pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a bowl mix together, condensed milk, eggs, evaporated milk, nutmeg, pineapple juice and butter, then add cheese and pineapple, add to the bread cut in pieces, I used 1 loaf of french bread cut in cubes.
  3. With your hand start mixing all the ingredients until the bread is super soft and the liquid is completely absorb by the bread.
  4. Place in a grease mold, I used 4 little baking dishes the I recently bought but you can use any kind you like, just make sure you can fix all the mixture in it, don’t want to waste any drop.
  5. Bake for 50 minutes, serve hot or at room temperature.
  6. This recipe makes 4 small pans or 1 normal size.
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 50 minutes
