Allow bread to cool, then mix with chopped spinach and feta.  In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, orange juice and zest.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer egg mixture into bread mixture and stir until will mixed.  Spray medium casserole dish with cooking spray, then pour pudding mixture into dish.  Set aside for 2 hours, or refrigerate overnight.
