This is almost perfect for a savory bread pudding. I used a sharp cheddar with a teaspoon of dry mustard replacing the Dijon and baked it in a 13" x 9" baking dish. I would make a few changes, though. First, an entire cup of chopped scallions is a bit overpowering. A couple of tablespoons would add enough flavor without going too far. Second, the amount of butter can be reduced by half, in my opinion. (I had a lot of melted butter rising to the top of the dish when it was done, although that didn't stop anyone from eating it. LOL ) The foil had cheese stuck to it, so I recommend buttering the foil before covering the casserole. And I needed an extra 5 minutes to get a nicely browned top at the end. But over all, it turned out well and was enjoyed by all. I made this for dinner, but it could just as easily be breakfast or lunch.
