It may be summertime, but this bread pudding recipe is a year-round favorite at the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove in Asheville, North Carolina.
The Cove offers many free seminars for spiritual growth and renewal. Plan your visit, and you may get a taste of this Muenster cheese bread pudding. Or, gather the ingredients and make it yourself. The Cove’s executive chef, Doug Walls, says it pairs especially well with steak.
