Steps:
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and peppercorns and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juice and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine eggs and mustard. Beat to blend. Add milk and beat well. Set aside.
- Lightly grease the slow cooker stoneware. Spoon in one-third of the tomato mixture. Spread half the bread evenly over top and sprinkle evenly with half the cheese. Repeat, finishing with final third of tomato mixture. Pour milk mixture evenly over top.
- Place two clean tea towels, each folded in half (so you will have 4 layers), over top of stoneware to absorb the moisture. (This is to prevent accumulated moisture from dripping on the bread by absorbing the liquid generated during cooking).
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours, until pudding is set and edges are browning.
Tips:
- Use high-quality, fresh bread for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have day-old bread, you can toast fresh bread cubes in the oven to dry them out slightly.
- Use a variety of breads for a more complex flavor and texture.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your bread pudding, such as raisins, cranberries, nuts, or chocolate chips.
- Serve bread pudding warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or whipped cream.
- Bread pudding can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- To reheat bread pudding, cover it with foil and warm it in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until heated through.
Conclusion:
Bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can create a warm and comforting dish that the whole family will love. So next time you have some leftover bread, don't throw it away!
