Indulge in Fall Flavors with Savory Pumpkin and Sage Bread Pudd

Today’s Recipe: Savory Pumpkin and Sage Bread Pudding

As the weather starts to cool and fall sets in, I find myself craving warm, comforting dishes that are perfect for cozy evenings at home. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for a unique twist on traditional bread pudding that incorporates the earthy flavors of pumpkin and sage. This savory version is a delightful departure from the sweet bread puddings typically enjoyed during the holidays.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• baking dish
• whisk
• mixing bowl

Ingredients:
– 300g day-old rustic bread, cubed
– 200g pumpkin puree
– 100g gruyere cheese, shredded
– 2 eggs
– 250ml whole milk
– 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a baking dish and place the cubed bread in the dish. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, sage, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the mixture over the bread in the baking dish, ensuring all the bread is coated. Sprinkle the shredded gruyere cheese on top.

Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set. The aroma of the sage and pumpkin will fill your kitchen, signaling that it’s time to take the dish out of the oven.

Once done, remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This savory pumpkin and sage bread pudding is best enjoyed warm, with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
