Categories     Breakfast & Brunch

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 pound sweet or spicy pork sausage (casings removed)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 loaf (18 slices) white sandwich bread, such as Pepperidge Farm, crusts removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
2½ cups (a little over ½ pound) grated sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
6 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
Scant teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with butter.
  • In a large sauté pan (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the sausage and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break the meat into small clumps, until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a large mixing bowl, leaving the fat in the pan.
  • Turn the heat down to medium, then add the onions to the pan along with 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook the onions, stirring constantly, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the onions to the mixing bowl with the sausage, along with the bread cubes, grated cheese and parsley. Toss well, then spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture. Cover tightly with saran wrap and refrigerate for at least a few hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for about one hour, uncovered, until puffed and golden brown. Serve immediately.
  • Note: The cook time is based on cooking the bread pudding directly out of the refrigerator. If it's left to sit out at room temperature before baking, check for doneness after 45 minutes.

SAVORY BREAD PUDDING WITH ARTICHOKES, CHEDDAR AND SCALLIONS



Savory Bread Pudding With Artichokes, Cheddar and Scallions image

Tangy marinated artichokes star in this cheesy, golden-topped casserole, which is layered with scallions, Cheddar and baguette cubes that get crisp at the edges. Look for the best-quality marinated artichoke hearts, then taste them before using. If they seem very acidic, give them a rinse and pat them dry before proceeding.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, casseroles, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan and foil
2 1/4 cups milk
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large baguette (10 to 12 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes
12 ounces marinated artichoke hearts, drained (2 cups) and rinsed, if needed to decrease acidity
6 scallions, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
3/4 packed cup parsley leaves, plus more for serving
1 large garlic clove, finely grated or minced
1 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot sauce, plus more for serving
8 ounces grated Cheddar (2 cups)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Generously butter a 2-quart shallow casserole or gratin dish. Butter one side of a piece of foil large enough to cover the dish during baking.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Gently toss in baguette cubes, and let the mixture sit while you prepare the remaining ingredients, stirring it occasionally.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the artichokes, scallions, parsley, garlic, hot sauce and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt until finely chopped. (Alternatively, you can chop everything finely by hand.)
  • Scoop half the soaked bread into the casserole dish and arrange in an even layer. Top with half the artichoke mixture and half the cheese. Repeat layers of bread, artichokes and cheese. Cover with aluminum foil, buttered-side down.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil. Continue to bake until golden at the edges and springy in the middle, about 15 minutes. (If you'd like, broil on low for 1 to 2 minutes for a more browned top.) Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the top and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with more hot sauce on the side.

CHEDDAR GORGEOUS! CHEESE AND ONION BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING



Cheddar Gorgeous! Cheese and Onion Bread and Butter Pudding image

I have always prefered savoury food to sweet food, and this is a recipe I made up for a savoury version of one of my favourite sweet puddings, Bread and Butter Pudding. This savoury dish is easy to rustle up and makes a tasty supper, breakfast, brunch or lunch dish. Do try to use mature farmhouse Cheddar cheese, a little goes a long way as the flavour is so pronounced. This can be made the night before you need it, for breakfast or brunch, and then baked next morning - a great make ahead meal! NB: Do NOT use standard American style sandwich bread, it is too thin and will not crisp up!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 slices thick bread (white) or 8 slices wholemeal bread
butter, softened to spread
1 onion, peeled and finely sliced
8 ounces mature farmhouse cheddar cheese, grated
1 pint milk
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon English mustard
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mixed herbs or 1 teaspoon dried herbs, to taste
tomatoes, sliced (optional)
sliced ham (optional)
cooked sausage (optional)
cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
branston pickle (optional)
chutney (optional)

Steps:

  • Butter 8 slices of bread and make sandwiches with the grated mature cheese and sliced onion. Cut the the sandwiches into four triangles and arrange them standing up with the points to the top, in a well greased baking dish. (Do NOT use standard American style sandwich bread, it is too thin and will not crisp up!).
  • (Feel free to vary to contents of the sandwiches. If it doesn't have to be a vegetarian dish, some ham would be very nice. Or you might want to put some pickle on the sandwiches, some sliced tomatoes, cooked sausage or whatever you fancy.).
  • Beat the eggs with the milk, mustard powder, salt, pepper, and the herbs.
  • Pre-heat oven to 200C or 400°F.
  • Pour the egg custard mixture over the sandwiches. (If you had any cheese left over, sprinkle it on top. Onion, too if you have any left over.) Allow the pudding to stand for about 30 minutes before baking - you get a lighter pudding.
  • Bake the bread and butter pudding in the pre-heated oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese custard has set and the cheese on the top is golden.
  • In a nutshell - it's cheese sandwiches with savoury custard poured over then baked in the oven - or savoury bread and butter pudding!
  • Serve warm for breakfast, brunch, lunch or supper. Can be prepared the night before and baked next morning - bring it to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking it however.
