Author Notes: I got the inspiration of this dish from strawberry shortcake. I had had some strawberry shortcake left over before but it was getting too dry, so I just decided to make breadpudding adding some lemon juice and syrup. Now, I used rhubarb and fresh mozzarella cheese to make rhubarb breadpudding with balsamic reduction instead of using strawberry and cream. – Yoonjoo Lee
