Savory Bread Pudding With Roasted Shallots Pecans And Herbs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
• Spread the bread pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until toasted and golden, tossing halfway through, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
• Whisk together the evaporated milk, milk, sugar, vanilla, eggs, nutmeg and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the cooled bread cubes. Toss to combine and set aside until the bread soaks up most of the liquid, about 30 minutes.
• Stir the pecan pie pieces into the mixture and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Bake until the bread pudding is set and golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC). Lightly grease a 10-inch (25 cm) square baking dish.
• Preheat a 6-quart (5.7 L) pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery in the olive oil with a pinch of salt until onion is lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in the onion powder, sage, thyme, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and several dashes of pepper and turn off the heat.
• Put the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked vegetable mixture and toss to thoroughly coat. Pour in the vegetable broth, ½ cup (120 ml) at a time, mixing well after each addition. The bread should be moist but not soggy, so you may not need to add all the broth.

• Turn the heat under a medium cast-iron pan to medium-high and add the oil. Once heated, add the sliced spring onion and sear until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total.
• To assemble, first put a third of the bread in the prepared casserole dish, then half of the mushroom duxelles, half of the seared onion and another third of the bread. Press down and top with the remaining mushroom duxelles and onions. Top with the remaining bread and dot with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter.
