Cheesy Bread Pudding Recipes

SARAH'S SAVOURY BREAD AND CHEESE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Make 2 cheese sandwiches by placing cheese slice between 2 bread slices and pressing together. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles and arrange in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Mix together beaten eggs, milk, salt and pepper; pour mixture over sandwiches and sprinkle with grated cheese. (Note: Vary amounts if needed; sandwiches do not need to be totally covered in egg mixture, but egg should soak in and leave a little in the bottom of the dish.)
• Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown, checking frequently.

SAVORY BREAD PUDDING WITH HERBS AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Cut the bread into 1 1/2 inch cubes. If your bread is very fresh, put the cubes on a sheet pan and place in a 200-degree oven while you prep the other ingredients.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat and add the shallots. Saute the shallots until they are soft and translucent.
• Add the wine and increase the heat to high. Boil the wine mixture until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, add the eggs and half and half and whisk. Add the herbs, cheese, shallot mixture and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Add the bread and stir until thoroughly coated with the custard.
• Grease a 9 x 13 inch casserole and pour the bread and custard mixture in.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour or overnight.

SAVORY CHEESE BREAD PUDDINGS

Steps:

• PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Lightly coat two 12-cup muffin pans with cooking spray. (Alternatively, use 9-by-13-inch baking dish.) HEAT oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; add onions and cook, stirring, until translucent. Add garlic and sauté until beginning to color, 2 to 3 minutes longer. STIR in dried basil, parsley, rosemary, oregano, salt and pepper; remove pot from heat. WHISK together 1 cup of milk and tomato paste in a medium bowl, until well combined; whisk in remaining milk. WHISK milk mixture into onion mixture in pot. Whisk in eggs and cheese. Add challah, stirring until cubes are all well coated. SPOON mixture into muffin pans (mixture doesn't expand in oven, so you can make larger ones if you prefer). BAKE for 15 to 20 minutes or until tops are lightly browned.

CHEDDAR GORGEOUS! CHEESE AND ONION BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Butter 8 slices of bread and make sandwiches with the grated mature cheese and sliced onion. Cut the the sandwiches into four triangles and arrange them standing up with the points to the top, in a well greased baking dish. (Do NOT use standard American style sandwich bread, it is too thin and will not crisp up!).
• (Feel free to vary to contents of the sandwiches. If it doesn't have to be a vegetarian dish, some ham would be very nice. Or you might want to put some pickle on the sandwiches, some sliced tomatoes, cooked sausage or whatever you fancy.).
• Beat the eggs with the milk, mustard powder, salt, pepper, and the herbs.
• Pre-heat oven to 200C or 400°F.
• Pour the egg custard mixture over the sandwiches. (If you had any cheese left over, sprinkle it on top. Onion, too if you have any left over.) Allow the pudding to stand for about 30 minutes before baking - you get a lighter pudding.
• Bake the bread and butter pudding in the pre-heated oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese custard has set and the cheese on the top is golden.
• In a nutshell - it's cheese sandwiches with savoury custard poured over then baked in the oven - or savoury bread and butter pudding!
• Serve warm for breakfast, brunch, lunch or supper. Can be prepared the night before and baked next morning - bring it to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking it however.

CHEDDAR PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch pie plate.
• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until the grease has rendered out and the bacon has begun to brown. Stir in onion, and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes; set aside. Meanwhile, stir together the softened butter and mustard in a small bowl until smooth. Spread this mixture on both sides of the bread, and set aside. Whisk together the eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, nutmeg, and sherry in a bowl.
• Line the bottom and sides of the pie plate with 3 slices of buttered bread. Spread half of the bacon and onion mixture evenly onto the bread. Add another layer of bread, then the remaining onion mixture. Finish with the remaining 3 slices of bread. Pour the egg mixture over the pudding, then sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until the center has firmed and the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, about 20 minutes.
