A savory bread pudding, a very different take from the usual dessert. You can use any cheese you like; goat cheese works especially well because it's soft and sharp. You can use any bread you like, too, the staler the better. Serve alongside a meat dish with plenty of pan juices or gravy - pot roast is ideal - so the pudding can soak up all the goodness. Adapted from a post by Caroline Russock at Serious Eats; she adapted the recipe from _Dishing Up Vermont_ by Tracey Madeiros. Ingredients:
2 cups whole milk |
5 eggs |
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary |
salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
1 lb ciabatta, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese (4 to 6 ounces) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 13x9x2 baking dish. 2. Whisk together milk, eggs, rosemary and salt and pepper to taste. 3. Place bread in a bowl. Sprinkle with cheese. Drizzle over egg mixture and toss to be sure all of the bread is coated with egg. Let stand 5-10 minutes to soften. 4. Pack mixture into prepared pan. Bake 20-35 minutes, until golden brown and springy to touch. Allow to cool briefly before serving. |
