Your family will love this fresh tomato, basil, bread pudding. I make it with fresh tomatoes from my garden when in season & the rest of the time I use cherry/grape tomatoes. There is a huge difference in taste between the two. You can serve this as an appetizer, a side dish, or for breakfast.

Steps:
- 1. Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- 2. FILLING: Butter a 9x13x2-inch glass baking dish. Add the bread cubes & set aside.
- 3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots & garlic - cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes & season w/salt & pepper to taste. Cook until slightly soft, about 2 minutes.
- 4. Remove the pan from the heat & stir in the basil. Pour the tomato mixture & the cheese over the bread cubes & combine well.
- 5. CUSTARD: In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sat, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, & milk together until smooth. Pour the custard over the bread mixture & gently toss to coat.
- 6. Bake until slightly puffed & golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the pudding from the oven & let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges & serve. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- 7. Notes: *You can substitute red or green onions for the shallots. *You can substitute fresh diced tomatoes from the garden in place of cherry/grape tomatoes. Will taste even better with garden tomatoes.
