Savory Pumpkin and Sage Bread Pudding Recipe

Today’s Unique Creation: Savory Pumpkin and Sage Bread Pudding

As the crisp autumn air settles in, I find myself craving warm, comforting dishes that remind me of cozy evenings by the fire. Today, I’m excited to share with you my recipe for a savory pumpkin and sage bread pudding that perfectly captures the essence of fall.

To begin, gather the following ingredients:

• 300g white bread, cubed
• 200g pumpkin puree
• 3 eggs
• 400ml milk
• 15g fresh sage leaves, chopped
• 100g cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 30g butter

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• saucepan
• baking dish
• oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking dish with butter. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped sage leaves and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, salt, and pepper. Add in the cubed bread, grated cheddar cheese, and the sage butter mixture. Mix well to ensure the bread is fully coated in the liquid.

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

Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This savory pumpkin and sage bread pudding is perfect for a cozy autumn dinner or as a unique side dish for your Thanksgiving feast.

This recipe yields approximately 6 servings. One serving weighs around 250g and has an estimated calorie count of 320 calories.

For a twist on this classic dish, try adding some crispy pancetta or toasted pecans for extra crunch and flavor.

I hope you enjoy making this savory pumpkin and sage bread pudding as much as I do. Feel free to experiment with different herbs or cheeses to make it your own. Happy cooking!
