Categories     Savory

Time 6h15m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced vertically
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, including juice
4 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cups evaporated milk
8 cups bread, cubed (1/2 )
2 cups Fontina cheese, shredded

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 a good quality bread for the best flavor and texture. Stale bread is ideal, as it will absorb the custard more easily.
  • If you don't have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread before using it.
  • Use a variety of breads for a more interesting flavor and texture. For example, you could use a mix of white bread, whole wheat bread, and raisin bread.
  • Don't overfill the slow cooker. The bread pudding will expand as it cooks, so leave some room at the top.
  • Cover the slow cooker while it's cooking. This will help the bread pudding to cook evenly.
  • Check the bread pudding after 2-3 hours. It's done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set.
  • Serve the bread pudding with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight treat. With a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can create a delicious and comforting bread pudding that your family and friends will love.
