Summer Squash Bread Pudding With Feta image

This savory whole-wheat bread pudding has Greek overtones, with the dill or mint and feta cheese. Make sure to squeeze as much water as you can out of the grated squash, or the dish will be too watery.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, casseroles, side dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces whole-wheat bread or baguette, crusts removed (weigh after removing crusts)
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups low-fat milk (1 percent or 2 percent)
1 1/2 pounds mixed green and yellow summer squash, grated
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small or 1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or mint
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
4 eggs
2 ounces feta, crumbled (1/2 cup)
1 ounce Parmesan, grated (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Slice the bread about 3/4 inch thick. If the bread is not stale, toast it lightly. Cut 1 of the garlic cloves in half and rub each slice of bread with the cut side of the garlic. Then cut the bread into 1-inch dice, place in a bowl and toss with 1 cup of the milk. Refrigerate for 1 hour, tossing every once in a while. Mince the remaining garlic and set aside.
  • While the bread is soaking, place the grated squash in a colander and salt generously. Toss and let sit in the colander in the sink for 15 minutes, then squeeze out water.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish or a 10-inch ceramic tart pan. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic and grated squash. Stir together until the garlic is fragrant and the squash limp, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped mint or dill and the parsley, and remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the bowl with the soaked bread from the refrigerator. Using your hands, a whisk or an immersion blender, mash or beat the soaked bread so that the mixture turns to mush. Add the squash mixture and the feta to the bowl and stir together. Scrape into the oiled baking dish. Top with the grated Parmesan.
  • Break the eggs into the bowl and beat with the remaining milk, salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon) and freshly ground pepper. Pour over the bread mixture and place the dish in the oven. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, until the mixture is puffed, golden brown on the top and set. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes or longer before serving.

SAVORY SUMMER SQUASH BREAD



SAVORY SUMMER SQUASH BREAD image

Categories     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for coating the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup finely ground yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 cups grated summer squash, such as round zucchini, pattypan, or crookneck (from about 1 pound squash)
2/3 cup finely crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Generously coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with olive oil; set aside. 2 Place flour, cornmeal, baking powder, oregano, salt, baking soda, and pepper in a large bowl and whisk until combined. 3 Place eggs, buttermilk, and 1/4 cup olive oil in a separate large bowl and whisk until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, fold in squash and feta until evenly combined. Pour squash mixture into flour mixture and stir until flour is just incorporated, being careful not to overmix (a few streaks of flour are OK). 4 Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan, pushing it into the corners and smoothing the top. Bake until the bread is golden brown all over and a toothpick inserted into it comes out clean (test several spots, because you may hit a pocket of cheese), about 60 to 65 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes, then turn the bread out onto the rack and cool for at least 15 minutes more before serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure your bread is perfectly moist, use a combination of butter and vegetable oil. Butter adds richness and flavor, while vegetable oil helps keep the bread tender and moist.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a golden brown crust, brush the top of the bread with melted butter before baking.
  • To test if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If it comes out with wet batter, bake for a few minutes longer.
  • Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the bread set and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

With its moist, flavorful crumb and golden brown crust, this savory summer squash bread is a delightful treat that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're enjoying it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this bread is sure to be a hit. So next time you have an abundance of summer squash, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
