Delicious and rich casserole served as a side to beef or poultry--lots of fat and calories, so you know it's excellent! I found it on a cooking program.

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
3 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons clarified butter

2 cups grated gruyere cheese

Overall, I thought this bread pudding was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This bread pudding was too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there was less sugar in the recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bread pudding turned out dry and crumbly. I think I may have used too much bread.

I added some chopped bacon to the bread pudding and it was amazing! The bacon added a smoky flavor that really took the dish to the next level.

This bread pudding is a great way to use up leftover bread. It's also a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the day before and then bake it when you're ready to serve.
