Savory Bread Pudding
Serves 6
8 leftover dinner rolls, torn into 2-inch pieces or 4 cups bread stuffing
12 ounces roast turkey, shredded
8 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, minced
3 cups milk
6 eggs
1 teaspoon dry mustard
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
1. In a large bowl, combine the bread pieces, turkey, cheese, onion, sage, and parsley. Spread the mixture in a gratin or shallow baking dish.
2. In the same bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and mustard and whisk together well. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the bread and sprinkle the Parmesan on top. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven until golden brown and the custard is set, approximately 40 minutes. Serve hot.
Enjoy!
