About
Papa's Savory Bread Pudding takes the grand tradition of bread puddings, typically a dessert, and makes a savory side dish that could go up against any Thanksgiving dressing. The bread is as tender as ever, baked with a spiced mustard sauce and filled with meaty ham, refreshing apples, and melted cheddar cheese. Dad knows what he's talking about when it comes to side dishes that keep you coming back for more; Papa's Savory Bread Pudding proves it, although your tastebuds won't need much convincing!
