• Garden sweeper savory bread pudding

I call this dish the Garden Sweeper because I make it with whatever greens happen to be ready in the garden at the moment: collards, kale, spinach, chard. Even pea sprouts, fava leaves and mustard greens work great! In fact, you could call it the Fridge Sweeper instead and use whatever you have on hand. Just adjust your cooking times accordingly. Whatever leafy green you use, the sweet and salty combinations of flavors here work great. <br /> <br />The secret to making this savory bread pudding full-bodied and flavorful (but still dirt cheap) is judicious use of a very few flavorful elements to elevate this simple, humble dish. It's amazing what just a little bit of bacon and a sprinkle of lemon zest can do to envigorate a dish! - vrunka
