Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place Against the Grain Garlic & Rosemary Dinner Rolls onto a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in diced leeks and shallot. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, until everything becomes soft but not burnt. Stir in minced garlic, rosemary and thyme. Stir, cooking for 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Fold in 1 cup of shredded Manchego cheese. Pour mixture into a 9×9 baking dish and distribute evenly. Top with reserved ¼ cup shredded Manchego and set aside.

- Pour mixture over bread cubes in the casserole dish. Use the back of a spatula or a wooden spoon to help evenly distribute the mixture.
- Place on the center rack of preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the custard is set and the top is crispy. Let rest for 5 minutes and serve.
