SCARBOROUGH FAIR - SAVOURY BACON, ONION AND HERB BREAD PUDDING



Scarborough Fair - Savoury Bacon, Onion and Herb Bread Pudding image

I named this dish after my home town, Scarborough, in the North of England - and yes, they really do have a "Scarborough Fayre" every year! And, this recipe does contain "parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme"! This is a very old recipe for savoury bread pudding - often served before the meal, just as Yorkshire Pudding used to be, to take the edge of your appetite & stop you eating too much meat! I added the bacon, but normally it is just made with pounded stale bread mixed with herbs, chives or onions, eggs and any dripping that was available. A delicious savoury dish - serve it with lashings of onion gravy as a light supper, brunch or lunch dish, or as an appetiser, also with gravy. This makes a wonderful accompaniment to roast pork and roast chicken. I have also been known to eat slices of this cold & it's ideal for picnics. Don't throw your crusts away, but process them in a food mixer and freeze them in zip-lock bags.....voila, ready made bread crumbs!

FRENCH ONION SOUP WITH BAGEL BREAD PUDDING CROUTONS



French Onion Soup with Bagel Bread Pudding Croutons image

Provided by Amanda Freitag

Categories     side-dish

Time 4h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 eggs
2 day-old everything bagels, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup olive oil
12 large Spanish onions, sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ounces butter
2 cups sherry
1 bay leaf
10 cups veal or beef stock
Kosher salt
1/2 to 3/4 cup grated gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • For the bread pudding: In a bowl whisk together the heavy cream, salt and eggs. Place the bagels in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Pour the cream mixture over the top and set aside to soak for 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cover the baking pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil from the pan and continue cooking for 15 minutes. Cool the bread pudding completely.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Separate the bagel pieces and place on a baking sheet. Toast until the edges turn golden brown, 5 minutes.
  • For the onions: In a 14-inch skillet or a medium high-sided saute pan, heat the oil over high heat and pour in the sliced onions. Do NOT stir the onions or shake the pan. When the pan gets hot again and the onions begin to sizzle, add the salt and stir. The onions at the bottom of the pan should be brown. Reduce the heat to medium and continue stirring. The onions will begin to soften and release their juices (the natural sugars in the juices will caramelize the onions). Cook for 15 minutes, and then reduce the heat to low. Continue cooking, stirring the onions periodically to make sure they don't stick to the pan, until completely soft and a rich dark brown color, 30 minutes.
  • For the soup: In a large saucepot set over medium heat, melt the butter until it starts to bubble. Add in the caramelized onions, then add the sherry and cook at a low simmer until the alcohol cooks out, 5 minutes. Add the bay leaf and stock, and cook for 30 minutes. Season with salt as the soup cooks. Portion the soup into serving bowls and top with some toasted bagel bread pudding croutons. Garnish each serving with 2 tablespoons gruyere if using, and serve.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 cups thinly sliced Vidalia or Texas Sweet onions
1/4 cup dry vermouth (optional)
1 clove garlic, crushed
6 cups French bread in 1-inch chunks
6 cups grated Emmenthaler or Swiss cheese
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat a gas grill to 400° to 500°F or a charcoal grill until hot. Melt half of the butter with the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet on the grill. Add the onions, cover the skillet, and move it to a cooler zone to simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Uncover the skillet, move it to a medium-heat zone, and stir occasionally until the onions caramelize, about 20 minutes. Add the vermouth and garlic and continue heating until the liquid evaporates, stirring constantly for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the onion mixture from the skillet and transfer it to a large bowl.
  • Clean the skillet; then spray the sides and bottom with nonstick cooking spray. Add the bread and stir well. Spread the onion mixture in the pan. Melt the remaining butter and pour it over the bread and onion mixture. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs slightly and add the half-and-half and salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the bread, onion, and cheese mixture. Use a spatula to lift the bread to make sure the liquid is infused throughout. Place the skillet on the grill. Using the indirect heat method, cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. When the pudding is done, remove it from the grill, cut it into large triangles, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow onions are the most common type used in onion pudding, but you can also use white or red onions. If you want a milder flavor, use sweet onions.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and release their flavor.
  • Sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent: This will help them develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will add flavor and depth to the pudding. Some common herbs and spices used in onion pudding include thyme, sage, rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: It should be cooked until it is set, but not dry.
  • Serve the pudding hot or cold: Onion pudding can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is also a great addition to a brunch or buffet.

Conclusion:

Onion pudding is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover onions, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With so many different variations available, there is sure to be an onion pudding recipe that everyone will enjoy.
