Individual Savoury Bread Puddings Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a bowl, toss the bread cubes with melted butter and chopped savory. Transfer to a baking sheet and toast until crispy and golden, about 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Break up sausage into silver-dollar-sized pieces and add to skillet; cook thoroughly about 10 minutes. Transfer sausage to a large bowl and let cool.
• Add remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to skillet. Add leeks and mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir in apple and transfer mixture to bowl with sausage; let cool.
• Brush a 9-inch square baking dish with olive oil. Add bread cubes to bowl with sausage and leek mixture; toss to combine and transfer to baking dish.
• In a large bowl, whisk together cream, eggs, vinegar, 3/4 cup cheese, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and the persillade; pour over bread mixture. Cover baking dish tightly with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and transfer to oven. Bake until a paring knife inserted into the center of the pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour.
• Uncover and sprinkle pudding with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Preheat the broiler; broil pudding until golden, about 3 minutes. Cut into squares and serve garnished with truffles if desired.

Steps:

• Divide bread between two greased 8-oz. baking dishes; set aside. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over bread. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, whirl bread to make 2 cups soft breadcrumbs.
• In large bowl, combine bread crumbs, milk, Cheddar, peppers, egg yolks, mustard and Worcestershire.
• In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into bread crumb mixture. Spoon into 6 greased 1-cup souffle dishes or into 8 greased 6-oz custard cups.
• Bake puddings in centre of 375° oven for 35 to 40 minutes for souffle dishes and 30 to 35 minutes for custard cups; or until puffed and golden brown on top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter in an 8 to 10-inch oven-proof saute pan and then add shallots. Transfer to oven and roast until lightly browned, stirring often. Remove pan from oven and set aside.
• Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 6-inch saute pan. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds; do not let garlic color. Add mushrooms and saute until browned. Carefully add brandy and flambe. Remove pan from heat immediately when flames subside. Stir in herbs and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• Place the cream, eggs, pecans, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a blender with the sauteed shallots (make sure to scrape the pan with a rubber spatula). Blend on high speed for about 20 seconds. Set aside.
• Mix the cream mixture with the toasted pecans, bread cubes, and mushroom mixture. Mix well and refrigerate for about 1 hour, stirring every once in a while so that the bread fully absorbs the flambeed mixture.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter and then thoroughly brush the inside of 6 individual-sized ramekins. (It's best to use cool ramekins because the butter sticks better and forms a thicker coat). Fill ramekins about 3/4 full with the bread pudding mixture. Brush the tops with more melted butter. Place ramekins in a water bath and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and from water bath and let cool for about 15 minutes. Run a paring knife around the bread pudding on the inside edge of the ramekin. Invert onto serving plates. The bread pudding can be prepared 1 day in advance, refrigerated, and reheated before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 210°C.
• If you are using a traditional metal muffin tray grease it then preheat for 10 minutes prior to baking.
• Prepare the french stick by cutting into 8 rounds, then in a separate bowl crack eggs, whisk them together and then whisk the milk inches.
• Soak the bread rounds in the egg mixture until completely drenched, about 20 minutes, like french toast.
• Combine rabbit and veggies in a bowl, slowly add cream to coat and make a dry sauce.
• Add the diced chile.
• When the bread rounds in the egg mixture are ready,.
• Cut the puff pastry into 9cm diameter rounds, or wide enough to cover the bottom and sides of each muffin hole to just a little below the rim.
• Fill with the rabbit mixture to the puff pastry line.
• Place the bread in the egg mixture on top of each pudding and push them firmly down into the rabbit mixture.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until top of bread is dark gold and crispy.
• The puddings are moist but don't have any sauce in the centre so I served them with a mushroom sauce which was absorbed beautifully by the rabbit puddings. Serve as a main with sauce and veggies, or appetizer just with the sauce. This looks different, and your guests will be excited to try them, a great and inexpensive way to use up leftovers.
• Serve with a creamy chardonnay.

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Grease a 12 cup, nonstick muffin tin with the butter.

• Portion half the bread cubes evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Portion half of the cheese and half of the chives evenly among the cups. Repeat with the remaining bread, cheese, and chives.
• Whisk the custard again and carefully pour it into the muffin cups, distributing it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Bake until the puddings are set and the tops are nicly browned and puffed, 18-22 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the puddings from the pan, running a paring knife around the edge of the puddings if they stick.
• Can assemble puddings and refrigerate up to 6 hours before baking. Can also bake a day ahead, refrigerate, and reheat wrapped in foil, in a low oven.
