Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 cups (3/4-inch diced) bread cubes, such as a country boule, crusts removed
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 ounces pancetta, 1/2-inch diced
2 cups chopped yellow onion (2 onions)
1 1/2 cups chopped celery (2 large stalks)
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup medium or dry sherry
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
5 extra-large eggs
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 cups freshly grated Gruyere cheese, lightly packed (8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the pancetta, raise the heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes, until starting to brown. Stir in the onion, celery, and apple and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the sherry, rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper and cook for 5 minutes, until most of the liquid is gone. Off the heat, stir in the parsley.
  • Meanwhile, beat the eggs, cream, chicken stock and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese together in a very large mixing bowl. Add the bread cubes first and then the vegetable mixture, stirring well to combine. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the bread to soak. Stir well and pour into a 2 1/2- to 3-cup gratin dish (13 x 9 x 2 inches). Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of Gruyere and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is browned and the custard is set. (Insert a knife in the middle to check.) Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh bread: Stale bread will make your pudding dry and crumbly. If you don't have fresh bread on hand, you can toast it in the oven to dry it out slightly.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to the pudding. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples will give your pudding different flavors and textures. For a classic apple bread pudding, use a combination of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp.
  • Soak the bread in the milk mixture for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the bread to absorb the liquid and become soft and tender.
  • Bake the pudding in a water bath: This will help to prevent the pudding from drying out.

Conclusion:

Apple bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of soft, custardy bread, sweet apples, and a rich caramel sauce, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give apple bread pudding a try.
