Time 2h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 cups (1/2-inch-diced) bread cubes from a rustic country loaf, crusts removed
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ounces pancetta, small-diced
4 cups sliced leeks, white and light green parts (4 leeks)
1 1/2 pounds cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed and 1/4-inch-sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1/4 cup medium or dry sherry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
4 extra-large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 1/2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (6 ounces), divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the bread cubes on a sheet pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 minutes, until starting to brown. Stir in the leeks and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until the leeks are tender. Stir in the mushrooms, tarragon, sherry, 1 tablespoon salt and 11/2 teaspoons pepper and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until most of the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Off the heat, stir in the parsley.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, chicken stock and 1 cup of the Gruyere. Add the bread cubes and mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid. Stir well and pour into a 2 1/2-to-3-quart gratin dish (13 x 9 x 2 inches). Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Gruyere and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is browned and the custard is set. Serve hot.

MUSHROOM & LEEK BREAD PUDDING



Mushroom & Leek Bread Pudding image

I watched Ina Garten make this on the Today show a few weeks before Christmas 2013 and immediately was intrigued. I made this on Christmas and was met with great reviews from all that tried it. This is a savory bread pudding (like dressing), NOT a dessert!! *I did make leaving the crust on the bread for added texture.

CREAMY ONE-POT MUSHROOM AND LEEK PASTA



Creamy One-Pot Mushroom and Leek Pasta image

This deeply satisfying pasta, brimming with rich umami, is made in just one pot, an approach that bolsters its flavors. Once the leek and mushrooms are caramelized and sticking to the pot, they're deglazed to lift all the extra depth from the bottom of the pan. (Use any liquid for deglazing, whether water, wine, stock, vinegar or tomato juice.) This recipe leaves the choice of mushrooms up to you: Cremini and shiitake are a good combination, but you could even use rehydrated porcinis. If you are craving greens to cut through the richness, stir a few handfuls of baby spinach into the pasta just before you turn off the heat.

Categories     dinner, one pot, pastas, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 leek, white part only, finely sliced (about 5 ounces)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 cups mixed mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake or oyster, torn or sliced (about 6 ounces)
1 lemon, halved
1 pound short pasta, such as orecchiette, cavatappi, gemelli or penne
4 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup whole-milk ricotta
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Heat a wide, deep 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high. When hot, add the olive oil and leeks, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until softened and lightly golden, 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and mushrooms. Cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes, then stir and cook, undisturbed, until the mushrooms start to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan, another 2 to 3 minutes. (This allows the water from the mushrooms to evaporate, encouraging caramelization.) Add the juice of one lemon half to deglaze the pan and stir to combine.
  • Add the pasta and stock; stir well. Cover with lid and cook on medium heat. Begin tasting pasta 10 minutes after you add it. (All pasta shapes and brands will have different cooking times. You want the pasta to be just tender.)
  • Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat and add the butter and parsley. Squeeze in the juice from the remaining lemon half and stir until butter is melted and dispersed. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, top with ricotta, red-pepper flakes (to taste) and more chopped parsley.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 10-ounce loaf brioche (preferably day-old), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus more for greasing dish
1 pound cremini mushrooms, trimmed and sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium fennel bulb, coarsely chopped (about 3 cups)
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 leeks (white and light-green parts only) split lengthwise and sliced (about 4 cups)
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Special equipment:
3-quart baking dish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Place cubed bread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until slightly dry, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Raise oven temperature to 350°F. In a large sauté pan over high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until mushrooms have released their liquid and start to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Scrape into a medium bowl and set aside, reserving pan.
  • Return pan to medium heat and melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add fennel and rosemary, and cook until fennel softens and starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add leeks and cook until all the vegetables are very soft, about 5 minutes more. Return mushrooms to pan, add broth, and bring to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl and let cool slightly. Add cubed bread and eggs and toss until mixture is combined.
  • Transfer bread mixture to baking dish. Bake in the center of the oven until golden brown and slightly puffed, 35 to 40 minutes (add 10 minutes if the dish has been refrigerated). Top with parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Make sure to clean the mushrooms and leeks thoroughly before using them in the recipe. Any dirt or debris can affect the taste and texture of the bread.
  • If you don't have a bread machine, you can still make this bread by hand. Just follow the instructions in the recipe and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • You can use any type of mushrooms you like in this recipe. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, or oyster mushrooms.
  • If you don't have any leeks, you can substitute them with onions or shallots.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to this bread, such as cheese, nuts, or herbs.

Conclusion:

This mushroom leek bread is a delicious and savory bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, either in a bread machine or by hand, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its unique flavor and texture, this bread is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
