SAVORY LEEK AND BACON BREAD PUDDING



Savory Leek and Bacon Bread Pudding image

Bread pudding has a sweet image, but you gotta try the savory version! It's amazing. Savory bread puddings are so easy to make and they're inexpensive, tasty, and comforting. I hope you like this one -- you can leave the bacon out if you just want a veggie version and/or add other veggies, too.

Time 1h10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ French baguette, cut into cubes
½ tablespoon olive oil
¾ cup diced leek
1 cup milk
2 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch ground nutmeg
olive oil cooking spray
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked and diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place baguette cubes onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until dry, about 15 minutes. Remove bread and set aside. Keep oven on.
  • Meanwhile, warm oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and cook until softened but not brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk milk and eggs together in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Grease a casserole dish with cooking spray; sprinkle a thin layer of Gruyere cheese on the bottom.
  • Top Gruyere with 1/2 of the toasted bread cubes. Spread leeks over bread cubes and sprinkle diced bacon on top. Top with more cheese, reserving about half. Ladle 1/2 of the milk mixture over bread, leeks, bacon, and cheese. Slightly press bread cubes down into the milk. Layer remaining bread across the top, and continue layering leeks and bacon. Ladle remaining milk on top. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the casserole. Slightly press bread cubes down into the milk.
  • Let casserole sit for 15 minutes.
  • Cover casserole very loosely with aluminum foil so cheese does not melt against it. Place casserole dish on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and bake until cheese and bread cubes are well browned on top, 10 to 15 minutes more.

MUSHROOM AND LEEK BREAD PUDDING

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 cups (1/2-inch-diced) bread cubes from a rustic country loaf, crusts removed
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ounces pancetta, small-diced
4 cups sliced leeks, white and light green parts (4 leeks)
1 1/2 pounds cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed and 1/4-inch-sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1/4 cup medium or dry sherry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
4 extra-large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 1/2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (6 ounces), divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the bread cubes on a sheet pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 minutes, until starting to brown. Stir in the leeks and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until the leeks are tender. Stir in the mushrooms, tarragon, sherry, 1 tablespoon salt and 11/2 teaspoons pepper and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until most of the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Off the heat, stir in the parsley.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, chicken stock and 1 cup of the Gruyere. Add the bread cubes and mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid. Stir well and pour into a 2 1/2-to-3-quart gratin dish (13 x 9 x 2 inches). Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Gruyere and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is browned and the custard is set. Serve hot.

SAVORY BREAD PUDDING WITH SPINACH AND MUSHROOMS



Savory Bread Pudding With Spinach and Mushrooms image

From Eating Well- just sooo good! The orginal recipe was baked in a water bath, but I chose to skip that part-- I like the edges to get a little crunchy. If you want a softer option, bake the 8X8 pan in a 9X13 pan that has about 2-3 cups of water in it.
