Yield Serves 12 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 oval slices rye bread
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 whole large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes (5 cups). In a large baking pan dry bread, uncovered, at room temperature 12 hours. (Alternatively, dry bread in a 250°F oven 1 hour.)
  • Lightly butter 12 non-stick 1/2-cup muffin cups.
  • Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt. In a small saucepan melt butter over moderate heat and stir in garlic paste. In a bowl toss together bread and garlic butter and divide evenly among muffin cups. In a bowl whisk together whole eggs, yolks, milk, cream, and pepper and ladle slowly and evenly over bread mixture. Chill puddings, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 8.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Bake puddings in middle of oven until golden and puffed, about 40 minutes, and cool in cups on a rack 10 minutes (puddings will sink as they cool). Run a thin knife around side of each cup and lift puddings out with a fork. Serve puddings warm.
