Exploring Unique Flavors with a Savory Pumpkin Bread Pudding

As the fall season transitions into winter, I find myself craving warm and comforting dishes to enjoy on chilly evenings. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for a savory pumpkin bread pudding that combines the rich flavors of pumpkin with a hint of spice and a savory twist. This dish is perfect for cozy nights at home with loved ones or as a delicious side dish for a holiday meal.

Ingredients:

• cubed bread (stale) – 400g
• pumpkin puree – 200g
• milk – 300ml
• heavy cream – 200ml
• eggs – 3
• cheddar cheese (shredded) – 100g
• onion (diced) – 1
• garlic (minced) – 3 cloves
• fresh sage (chopped) – 2 tbsp
• salt – 1 tsp
• black pepper – 1/2 tsp
• butter – 2 tbsp

Kitchen Tools:

• baking dish
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• saucepan
• knife
• cutting board
• oven

To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a baking dish with butter. In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened. Next, stir in the chopped sage and cook for an additional minute.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, heavy cream, eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Add the cubed stale bread to the bowl and toss to coat. Mix in the cooked onion, garlic, and sage, along with the shredded cheddar cheese.

Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set.

Once the savory pumpkin bread pudding is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish is best enjoyed warm, with a sprinkle of fresh sage on top for a burst of flavor.
