APPLE AND HERB BREAD PUDDING DRESSING



Apple and Herb bread pudding dressing image

This dressing is so creamy and has so much flavor that it was the star of our Thanksgiving dinner. People are still raving about it at my husband's work the next day. I wish that I could claim it as my own BUT.. I actually got it out of Good Housekeeping magazine. It is a recipe by Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) My husband who hates stuffing normally, told me it was a keeper and I had to make it for every holiday gathering.

5 - extra- large eggs, or 6 large
2 cup(s) heavy cream
1 cup(s) chicken stock, no salt
2 cup(s) gruyere cheese, grated (8oz)

Steps:

  • This recipe is like a bread pudding, the longer you let it sit the creamier it gets. You can make this the day before for even better results.
  • Preheat oven to 350* Arrange the cubed bread on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.
  • While bread is in the oven, heat butter in skillet on medium low heat. Add pancetta to the pan. Increase heat to medium and saute until browned.
  • Add onion, celery and apple to skillet and cook until tender
  • Stir in sherry, rosemary, 1 t. salt, 1 t. pepper. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley.
  • In a very large bowl, whip eggs, cream, chicken stock and 1 1/2 c. Gruyere cheese together. Add the toasted bread. Stir and then add the vegetable mixture. Mix well until everything is combined.
  • Let stand for 30 minutes (if you're making it the day before, this is where you place it in pan, cover and refrigerate.) Place it in casserole pan, top it with remaining Gruyere cheese.
  • Place in oven and cook for 45-50 minutes or until top is brown and knife inserted into center comes out clean.

This vegan bread pudding is a perfect base for Thanksgiving-y things or when you want a change from traditional mashed potatoes.

Provided by Isa Chandra Moskowitz

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil, plus more for the baking dish
1 small yellow onion, chopped into medium dice
2 ribs celery, thinly sliced
Salt
2 teaspoons onion powder
½ teaspoon dried sage
3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
Freshly ground black pepper
1 loaf bakery white bread, cubed
2 cups (480 ml) vegetable broth
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool a bit before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your bread pudding a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overcook the bread cubes. They should be slightly firm, but not crunchy. Otherwise, they will become too soft and mushy in the bread pudding.
  • Use a flavorful bread. A good choice is a hearty whole-wheat bread or a crusty sourdough bread.
  • Add some herbs to the bread pudding. This will give it a savory flavor that pairs well with the apples. Some good choices include thyme, rosemary, and sage.
  • Don't skimp on the butter. Butter adds richness and flavor to the bread pudding. Make sure to use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt.
  • Bake the bread pudding until it is golden brown on top. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm. It is delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

Apple and herb bread pudding is a classic fall dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its combination of sweet apples, savory herbs, and rich bread, it is the perfect comfort food. Whether you are serving it as a side dish or a dessert, apple and herb bread pudding is sure to be a hit.
