This savoury rocket, bacon, and Gruyère bread pudding is a sophisticated twist on a classic comfort food. Combining the peppery notes of fresh baby rocket with the salty crunch of bacon and the rich, nutty melt of Gruyère cheese, it offers a deeply satisfying flavour profile. The country-style bread soaks up a silky egg custard, resulting in a texture that is wonderfully soft in the middle with a golden, crisp topping. It is an excellent way to use up slightly stale bread while creating a dish that feels truly indulgent.

As a high-protein meal, this versatile bake works beautifully for a weekend brunch or a light evening supper. The addition of fresh greens ensures a balanced finish, making it a nutritious yet hearty option for the whole family. For the best results, use a high-quality sourdough or crusty farmhouse loaf and serve it warm from the oven alongside a crisp green salad.

Ingredients for Rocket, Bacon, and Gruyère Bread Pudding

350 ml de leche entera
120ml de nata para montar
5 huevos grandes
6 bacon slices
1 chalota grande, finamente picada
3 dientes de ajo, picados
200g baby rocket or baby spinach (6 1/2 cups)
900g cubed (1-inch) country-style bread (450g )
160g Gruyère cheese, coarsely grated (350ml )

How to make Rocket, Bacon, and Gruyère Bread Pudding

Preheat oven to 191°C with rack in middle. Butter a 2-qt shallow baking dish.

Whisk together milk, cream, eggs, and 1/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper in a large bowl.

Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain, then coarsely crumble.

Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and cook shallot and garlic, stirring constantly, until golden, about 1 minute. Gradually add rocket and cook, stirring, until it wilts.

Stir rocket mixture, bacon, bread, and cheese into custard. Transfer to baking dish and cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake until golden in spots, about 10 minutes more.
