Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Irish soda bread:
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Puddings:
3 ounces sharp white Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (1 1/4 cups)
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 large eggs
2 1/2 cups whole milk
Special Equipment
8 (6-ounce) ramekins or a 2-quart shallow gratin or baking dish

Steps:

  • Make soda bread:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and caraway in a large bowl. Add buttermilk and butter. Stir just until dough is evenly moistened but still lumpy.
  • Transfer dough to a well-floured surface and turn dough to coat with flour. Gently knead with floured hands about 8 times to form a soft but slightly less sticky dough.
  • Form into a domed 6-inch round and put on an ungreased baking sheet. Cut a 1/2-inch-deep "X" across top of each loaf with a sharp knife. Using a small sieve, dust 1 tablespoon of additional flour over loaf.
  • Bake in middle of oven until golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer loaf to a rack and cool completely.
  • Make puddings:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter ramekins or baking dish.
  • Cut enough bread into 1-inch cubes to measure 3 3/4 cups (about half the loaf; reserve remaining bread for another use.) Divide bread among ramekins (or spread in larger baking dish).
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in cheese and spoon over bread in ramekins or baking dish. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Put ramekins or baking dish in a larger baking pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up sides of ramekins or dish.
  • Bake until just set and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  • Transfer ramekins or dish from hot water bath to a rack and cool 20 minutes before serving.
