Author Notes
I don't buy milk because I won't drink it, so when I need to make a sauce, filling, or custard, I substitute all kinds of things- pickle juice is my favorite.
Barbecue leftovers. A giant tray of pulled pork, sauce, and lots of rolls. Pickle juice is an ok substitute for milk, right?

Grease a medium baking pan and preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Separately combine the eggs, cheese, pickle juice, butter, and barbecue sauce. That is your custard; just go with it.

Whisk the custard, season, and pour over the bread mix. Put it into the fridge for as long as you can stand it, but 6 hours is the best (mine was for 2.)

When ready to bake, bring it back to room temperature and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes or until done and golden and delicious smelling..
