- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the bread pudding will be. Use fresh, flavorful bacon, eggs, and milk. If you can, use artisan bread for a more robust flavor.
- Don't over-mix the batter. Over-mixing will make the bread pudding tough. Stir the ingredients until they are just combined.
- Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the bread pudding from drying out. Place the baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. This will help the bread pudding to set and make it easier to slice.
