Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish with 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted (about 30 seconds). Drain and rinse with cold water. Once cooled, squeeze as much water from the spinach as possible, then roughly chop, and reserve. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until golden brown and tender (about 5 minutes). Add garlic, 2 tsp. Italian Essence, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper, and cook, stirring until the garlic is fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add artichokes and cook, stirring another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve. Combine eggs, cream, chicken stock, lemon juice, remaining 1 Tbsp. Italian Essence, remaining 2 tsp. salt, and remaining 1 tsp. pepper, in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add bread, spinach, artichoke mixture, brie, 1/4 cup Parmesan, and parsley. Stir to combine. If bread does not absorb all of liquid immediately then let rest until this happens, about 20 minutes. Pour bread pudding mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan over top and drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Bake until firm in the center and golden brown (about 1 hour). Serve warm. |
