Cozy Autumn Comfort: Savory Pumpkin and Sage Bread Pudding

Autumn Recipe: Savory Pumpkin and Sage Bread Pudding

Hello, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a cozy and comforting dish perfect for the autumn season – Savory Pumpkin and Sage Bread Pudding. This unique recipe combines the earthy flavors of pumpkin and sage with the rich, creamy texture of a classic bread pudding. It’s a dish that never fails to warm both the body and soul.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 300g pumpkin puree
• 400g bread cubes
• 3 eggs
• 400ml milk
• 200ml heavy cream
• 10g fresh sage leaves
• 100g gruyere cheese, grated
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• to taste
• for greasing

To prepare this dish, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• baking dish
• saucepan

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) and greasing a baking dish with butter. In a saucepan, heat the milk and cream over medium heat until warm but not boiling. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously.

Next, add the bread cubes, sage leaves, and grated gruyere cheese to the mixture, stirring gently to combine. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the liquid. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

This Savory Pumpkin and Sage Bread Pudding weighs approximately 1200g after being cooked. It serves 6-8 people, with each serving weighing around 150g. One serving of this dish is approximately 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a little extra grated gruyere cheese on top of the bread pudding halfway through baking. This will create a delicious cheesy crust that adds an extra layer of flavor and texture to the dish.

I hope you enjoy making and indulging in this Savory Pumpkin and Sage Bread Pudding as much as I do. Feel free to experiment with different herbs, cheeses, or even adding some crispy bacon for a twist. Bon appétit!
