Savory Goat Cheese and Tomato Bread Pudding image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
12 slices good-quality white sandwich bread, crusts trimmed off (about 8 ounces total)
5 ounces goat cheese, crumbled, or 6 ounces crumbled feta cheese
8 ounces (1 pint basket) red or yellow cherry tomatoes, stemmed, and cut in half if large
6 eggs
2 cups milk
3 tablespoons prepared pesto
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan or aged Asiago cheese

Steps:

  • Grease the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish or other shallow 3-quart baking pan.
  • Butter each bread slice on one side. Stack the bread, 6 at a time, and cut on the diagonal into triangles. Place half of the bread pieces, buttered sides down, in the bottom of the prepared dish. Scatter the goat or feta cheese over the bread in one layer. Scatter the cherry tomatoes over the cheese. Top with the remaining buttered bread pieces, buttered sides up.
  • In a bowl with a whisk, beat eggs, milk and pesto until well-blended. Pour over the bread and cheese mixture in the dish. Tamp down the top pieces of bread lightly with the back of a fork so that they soak up some liquid. Sprinkle the top with the grated cheese. Cover the dish tightly with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • To serve, remove the dish from the refrigerator and place it in a cold oven; turn the oven on to 350 degrees. Bake for 35 minutes with the foil on; remove foil and continue to bake until pudding is puffed and golden brown on top, 25 to 30 more minutes.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 to 6 ounces stale baguette or whole wheat country bread, crusts removed, cut into 3/4-inch slices if it isn't too hard to cut (see note)
1 1/2 cups milk (low-fat or regular)
2 large garlic cloves, 1 cut in half, 1 minced
1/2 pound broccoli crowns
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)
4 large eggs
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pound ripe, firm tomatoes, sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Rub the bread slices, front and back, with the cut clove of garlic. Cut into cubes. Place in a bowl and toss with 1 cup of the milk and let sit while you prepare the other ingredients. Note: If the bread is too hard to cut safely, place the whole chunk in a bowl with 1 cup of the milk. Refrigerate for 1 hour or longer, turning the bread in the milk every once in a while. Remove the bowl with the soaked bread from the refrigerator. Break up the bread with your hands. Using a wooden spoon, a whisk or an immersion blender, mash or beat the soaked bread so that the mixture turns into a mush.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and goat cheese. Beat in the milk. Add salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon), a few twists of pepper and the bread, along with any milk remaining in the bowl in which you soaked the bread. Stir well to combine. Let sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Rub the sides of a 2-quart baking dish or gratin with the cut side of a garlic clove. Oil or butter the dish. Mince any remaining garlic from the halves you used to rub the bread and the dish. Break up the broccoli crowns into florets and steam for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and cut the florets into 1/2-inch slices, or chop coarsely.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet and add the minced garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in 1 teaspoon of the thyme, the broccoli, and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir together for a minute, until the broccoli is nicely seasoned, and remove from the heat. Stir into the bread mixture.
  • Scrape the bread mixture into the baking dish. If including tomatoes, scrape in half the bread mixture and layer half the tomatoes on top. Spread the remaining bread mixture over the tomatoes and top with the remaining tomatoes. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the remaining thyme and drizzle on the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the oven and bake 50 minutes, until puffed, set and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and serve hot or warm.

SAVORY CHEESE AND CHIVE BREAD

Provided by ratherbeswimmin

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2-1 teaspoon salt (depending on what cheese and add-ins you are using)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper (or more to taste, you could add a pinch of cayenne)
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup coarsely grated cheese (about 4 ounces, Gruyere, Comte, Emmenthal, or Cheddar)
2 ounces cheese, cut into very small cubes (Gruyere, Comte, Emmenthal, or Cheddar, about 1/2-2/3 cup)
1/2 cup minced fresh chives (or other herbs, or thinly sliced scallions)
1/3 cup toasted walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven; preheat oven to 350°; generously butter an 8 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4-inch loaf pan (a Pyrex pan is perfect; if your pan is larger, go ahead and use it, but your loaf will be lower and you'll have to check it for doneness a little earlier).
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and white pepper together in a big bowl.
  • Put the eggs in another bowl and whisk for about 1 minute, until they are foamy and blended; whisk in the milk and olive oil.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and , using a sturdy rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, gently mix until the dough comes together; there is no need to be energetic (beating the dough toughens it); nor do you need to be very thorough, just stir until all the dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Stir in the cheese, grated and cubed, the herbs, and walnuts (you will have a thick dough).
  • Turn the dough into the prepared pan and even the top with the back of the spatula or spoon.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the bread is golden and a slender knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and wait for about 3 minutes, then run a knife around the sides of the pan and turn the loaf over the rack; invert and cool right side up.
  • Dorie suggests if serving with drinks/wine--cut bread into 8 slices, about 1/2 inch thick, and cut the slices into strips or cubes.
  • Well wrapped, the loaf will keep for about 2 days at room temperature or for up to 2 months in the freezer (thaw in the wrapper).
  • **This is not a very moist loaf--it is not meant to be--so it may seem a little dry after a couple of days; it is good to toast the slices.
