I really liked this. I did vary the cheese a little to what I had on hand. I followed the directions but cut it into six pieces, it was still quite a bit of food. I guess if you were using it as your whole meal, it would be fine, but I like it for a side dish. Next time, I will cut the recipe in half and serve four with it.

Yummy and easy! if you use gruyere cheese there is plenty of flavor. Love the onions! Unfortunately, our dog sniffed this out and found a way to snag the onions off what little was left over.

So delicous, easy and cheap! I used an organic white hearty bread and the texture was great. Usually my bread puddings are WAY too soggy but this was ust perfect. I did change the cheese in the recipe and used monterey jack because I thought swiss might be too dull a flavor. This is a great way to use extra bread. I served it as a side dish for dinner and I will definitely keep this recipe in mind next time I have extra bread. Maybe I will change the topping for variety.
