Three Cheese & Artichoke Bread Pudding Recipe

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees - preferably convection oven. Generously butter a 3 quart souffle dish (or if you prefer a crustier souffle with more crisp edges use a 2 inch deep by 10 inch roasting pan).
2. Beat the milk and cream together in a shallow container. Add the bread to the milk and cream - set aside to soak for 15 minute.
3. Meanwhile whisk the eggs, herbs, spinach, paprika, nutmeg, pepper and salt in a medium bowl. Squeeze the bread gently to extract the milk. Whisk the milk into the egg-herb mixture. Stir in the soaked bread, the artichokes and the cheese.
4. Pour into the buttered baking dish. Dot the top with butter. Bake in a preheated overn for 35-40 min or until golden brown on top, set in the center and bubbling.
