Instructions
-
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Oil a 2 1/2- to 3-quart baking dish.
-
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes. Add the chard stems and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes.
-
Add the chard and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the bread and let sit, tossing occasionally, for 5 minutes.
-
Fold the chard mixture, artichokes and ham into the bread mixture, then add the goat cheese. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, sprinkle with the Parmesan, and bake until set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean (cover with foil if it browns too quickly), 45 to 50 minutes. Serve with salad, if desired.
Why this Breakfast Bread Pudding works for PCOS
Eating a substantial breakfast like this Breakfast Bread Pudding is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
