Sausage And Caramelized Onion Bread Pudding Recipes

SAUSAGE AND LEEK SAVORY BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease six 12-ounce ramekins with 2 tablespoons of the butter and set aside on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Spread the brioche on a second rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and squash and cook, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon, until the sausage is browned and the squash is tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the leeks, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and continue to cook, stirring often, until the leeks are wilted and softened, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk together the chicken broth, cream, parsley, chives and eggs in a medium bowl. Add half the brioche to the ramekins. Divide the sausage mixture among the ramekins; top with 1 cup of the Gruyere and the remaining brioche. Pour the egg mixture over and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Gruyere.
• Set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture. Bake on the baking sheet until the custard is set and the bread pudding is puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chives before serving.

CARAMELIZED VIDALIA ONION PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use 1 tbsp butter to lightly grease 4 ramekins.
• In a saute pan over medium flame, melt 4 tbsp butter. Add onions and saute until they caramelize and turn golden brown. Cool and transfer to a blender or food processor and puree.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the cream, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, and flour and mix well.
• Mix the onion mixture into the cream mixture.
• Pour into individual ramekins (about half full). Place ramekins in a roasting pan. Cover the ramekins with foil. Fill the roasting pan with water until the water reaches about half way up the side of the ramekin. Place roasting pan in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes until the pudding is set.
• Remove ramekins from the roasting pan to remove from the oven and let the water in the roasting pan cool before trying to remove. I've made the mistake of trying to remove the ramekins IN the roasting pan-let's just say the water is very very hot.
