Innovative Twist: Delectable Savory Banana Bread Pudding

Exciting Culinary Innovation: Savory Banana Bread Pudding

As the weather starts to cool down and fall flavors begin to emerge, I find myself craving warm and comforting dishes to enjoy. Today, I’m excited to share a unique twist on a classic dessert with a savory twist that will surely tantalize your taste buds – Savory Banana Bread Pudding.

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

• 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
• 6 bread slices (cubed)
• 100g cheddar cheese (grated)
• 6 bacon strips (cooked and crumbled)
• 3 eggs
• 350ml milk
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme (chopped)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

To bring this dish to life, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• baking dish
• oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) and greasing a baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, cubed bread slices, grated cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, eggs, milk, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and gently press down to ensure the bread is soaked in the custard mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown on top.

Once the savory banana bread pudding is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish is perfect for a cozy brunch or as a side dish for a hearty dinner.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with 6 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g, and has an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

For an extra special touch, try serving this savory banana bread pudding with a dollop of tangy Greek yogurt on top. The creamy yogurt adds a delightful contrast to the rich and savory flavors of the pudding.

I hope you enjoy this unique twist on a classic dessert! Feel free to experiment with different ingredients to make this dish your own. Happy cooking!
