I've been serving this dish for years and always receive compliments on it. If you don't have day-old bread in your pantry, simply slice fresh bread and bake it at 300° for 10 minutes. -Mary Ann Dell, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania

SAVORY BREAD PUDDING WITH TOMATOES AND HERBS



Savory Bread Pudding with Tomatoes and Herbs image

Stale baguettes and country breads give me a welcome excuse to make savory Italian bread puddings, called stratas. You can add different vegetables in season, such as sautéed mushrooms or greens to the mix.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound stale bread, sliced about 1/2 inch thick (see note below)
1 large garlic clove, cut in half, green shoots removed
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (1/2 cup)
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (1/4 cup)
1 pound firm, ripe tomatoes, sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Oil or butter a 2-quart baking dish or gratin. If the bread is soft, toast it lightly and rub all the slices, front and back, with the cut clove of garlic. If it's stale, just rub with garlic Mince what garlic remains. Combine the two cheeses in a small bowl.
  • Layer half of the bread slices in the baking dish. Top with half the tomato slices. Sprinkle the tomato slices with salt, pepper, and half the thyme, rosemary, and remaining garlic. Top with half the cheese. Repeat the layers.
  • Beat together the eggs and milk. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few twists of the pepper mill, and pour over the bread and tomato layers. Place in the oven and bake 40 to 50 minutes, until puffed and browned. Remove from the oven and serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini. Fresh zucchini has a higher water content, which will help to keep the bread pudding moist. If you don't have fresh zucchini, you can use frozen zucchini that has been thawed and drained.
  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help to ensure that it is evenly distributed throughout the bread pudding.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread pudding tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the bread pudding from drying out.
  • Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. This will help to set the bread pudding and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Savory zucchini bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. This recipe is easy to follow and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So experiment and enjoy!
