Recipe Roundup: Savory Bread Pudding

2009_02_18-breadpudding.jpgEver since we wrote about freezing bread remainders, we've been on a bread pudding kick. A warm, sweet dish of sweet potato or apple walnut bread pudding is so satisfying this time of year (or any time of year, really!). Bread pudding doesn't have to be limited to dessert, though. Made with savory ingredients, this comfort food can be served as an entrée or side dish.

 
 

Have you ever made savory bread pudding? Whether you get fancy with wild mushrooms and artisanal cheeses or frugal with stale bread and leftover vegetables, there are endless possibilities. Here are some of the recipes we're dying to try:

I love bread pudding for dinner/breakfast because it's thrifty and lets you use up leftovers! I usually use a tiny bit of very tasty meat--bacon, proscuitto, sausage, whatever needs used--greens like chard or kale (precooked), a really tasty cheese like gruyere or sharp cheddar, herbs, and tomatoes if I have them.

In Newfoundland where my husband is from they have a savory bread pudding for holidays and their jiggs dinners. I wasnt too fussy about it because I'd only known sweet bread puddings but i may have to give some the above-mentioned ones a try :)

Absolutely--all the time! Try one with corn, green chiles, and cheese (cheddar, monterrey jack, or farmer's queso), and Mexican dried or fresh herbs (cilantro, epazote, oregano).
