Best Individual Savory Horseradish Bread Puddings Recipes

SAVORY BREAD PUDDING WITH ROASTED SHALLOTS, PECANS, AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter in an 8 to 10-inch oven-proof saute pan and then add shallots. Transfer to oven and roast until lightly browned, stirring often. Remove pan from oven and set aside.
• Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 6-inch saute pan. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds; do not let garlic color. Add mushrooms and saute until browned. Carefully add brandy and flambe. Remove pan from heat immediately when flames subside. Stir in herbs and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• Place the cream, eggs, pecans, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a blender with the sauteed shallots (make sure to scrape the pan with a rubber spatula). Blend on high speed for about 20 seconds. Set aside.
• Mix the cream mixture with the toasted pecans, bread cubes, and mushroom mixture. Mix well and refrigerate for about 1 hour, stirring every once in a while so that the bread fully absorbs the flambeed mixture.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter and then thoroughly brush the inside of 6 individual-sized ramekins. (It's best to use cool ramekins because the butter sticks better and forms a thicker coat). Fill ramekins about 3/4 full with the bread pudding mixture. Brush the tops with more melted butter. Place ramekins in a water bath and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and from water bath and let cool for about 15 minutes. Run a paring knife around the bread pudding on the inside edge of the ramekin. Invert onto serving plates. The bread pudding can be prepared 1 day in advance, refrigerated, and reheated before serving.

SAVORY BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 3-quart casserole dish with butter.
• Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, cognac and some salt and pepper in a large bowl. Place the bread slices into the egg-cream mixture and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Cut the mushrooms into large dice and add to food processor along with the shallots and process until finely, finely chopped. Put a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add 4 tablespoons of the butter. Once the pan is heated, add the mushroom/shallot mixture and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the heat under a medium cast-iron pan to medium-high and add the oil. Once heated, add the sliced spring onion and sear until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total.
• To assemble, first put a third of the bread in the prepared casserole dish, then half of the mushroom duxelles, half of the seared onion and another third of the bread. Press down and top with the remaining mushroom duxelles and onions. Top with the remaining bread and dot with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Put into the oven and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

CRUSTY ONION HORSERADISH & GARLIC BREAD LOAF

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. I made this crusty and flavorful bread loaf to compliment my Vegetable with Beef and Orzo Soup. It was a great addition to the soup. Spray a large shallow baking pan or cast iron skillet with non stick cooking spray and set aside till needed. Some of the ingredients used to make the bread loaf.
• 2. Sift flour into a large bowl then make a well in the center of it adding the salt, sugar & baking soda.
• 3. Then add the horseradish chopped green onion tops, granulated garlic, egg and buttermilk.
• 4. Then with a spoon or by hand gradually begin to blend the spices into the flour mixture, with the wet ingredients until the dough comes together.
• 5. Dough may tend to be a little sticky. Add enough extra flour just until it holds together. Then shape into desired shape and place on baking pan or in skillet. I chose to make it like a loaf this time. With a serrated knife make a long X across bread about 1 1/2 inches deep so that the steam can escape as the bread cooks.
• 6. Bake in preheated 450 degrees F oven for 15 minutes then REDUCE THE TEMPERATURE TO 400 DEGREES AND CONTINUE TO BAKE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 30 MINUTES OR UNTIL BREAD SOUNDS HALLOW WHEN TAPPED ON THE BOTTOM.
• 7. Remove from oven and spray with butter flavored cooking spray or brush top with softened butter if desired. I find it much easier to slice bread using an electric knife. Add softened butter while bread is warm if desired.

Whisk in the horseradish, 1 tsp. salt, and a few grinds of pepper and set aside. Portion half of the bread cubes evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Portion half of the parmigiano and half of the chives evenly among the cups. Repeat with the remaining bread, cheese, and chives.

SAVORY HERB BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC). Lightly grease a 10-inch (25 cm) square baking dish.
• Preheat a 6-quart (5.7 L) pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery in the olive oil with a pinch of salt until onion is lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in the onion powder, sage, thyme, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and several dashes of pepper and turn off the heat.
• Put the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked vegetable mixture and toss to thoroughly coat. Pour in the vegetable broth, ½ cup (120 ml) at a time, mixing well after each addition. The bread should be moist but not soggy, so you may not need to add all the broth.
• Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool a bit before serving.
