Dairy & Gluten Free Savory Bread Pudding

Have you ever noticed how some people cringe when they hear certain food related words? Like "gluten free", or "vegan" or "dairy free"... As if those words automatically meant tasteless and just plain gross.

Especially when doing nutritional counseling, that's something that happens to me way too often. If I had a penny for every time I've gotten an eye roll or a look of disgust when I mention tofu or  gluten free cake, I'd be a millionaire by now.

Interestingly enough, when those same people try these foods without knowing what they are, they love it.

Funny how we let our preconceived ideas dictate our choices, uh?

Take this gluten free bread pudding for example. If I didn't tell you, there is no way you would be able to tell it's gluten free. And unless you were a cheese connoisseur, in my opinion, you wouldn't be able to tell it's dairy free either.

Granted, to achieve that, you need to use high quality products and reliable brands, which we do of course... But thankfully, that's an easy task since they're available pretty much everywhere  nowadays.

So go ahead, gather some of your pickiest and skeptical friends and give it a try. I'd love to hear their thoughts 🙂

Enjoy!

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 1.5 quart round casserole dish generously with cooking spray or grease lightly with oil
2. Sauté thawed spinach in olive oil at medium heat. Season with ⅛ teaspoon salt and cook for about 5 minutes. Set aside
3. Cut buns in half lengthwise and spread each one lightly with vegetable spread. Cut into aproximately 1 ½ inch cubes
4. In a large bowl, beat eggs and egg whites, season with salt and black pepper. Add almond milk, cooked spinach and 1 cup shredded cheese and mix until well combined
5. Arrange bun cubes in prepared casserole dish. Pour egg mixture all over the bread, pressing down gently so it’s well covered. Let it soak for 15 minutes.
6. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup shredded cheese on top and bake in middle rack at 350F for one hour and 15 minutes*

Notes

*Note: Bread pudding will puff up as it bakes, so make sure to remove the top rack of your oven, or place it far enough from the casserole dish
