This dish combines the sweetness of apples with the smoky richness of chorizo, creating a perfect balance of flavors. Whether you’re looking for a cozy dish for a chilly evening or a show-stopping brunch option, this bread pudding is sure to impress.

Ingredients:

• 1 baguette, cubed (300g)
• 2 apples, diced (200g)
• 150g chorizo, diced
• 1 onion, chopped (100g)
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 eggs
• 300ml milk
• 100g cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• oven
• baking dish
• skillet
• mixing bowl
• whisk

I start by sautéing the diced chorizo in a skillet until it’s crispy and releases its flavorful oils. Then, I add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until they are soft and fragrant. In a mixing bowl, I whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper to create the custard base.

In a large baking dish, I layer the cubed baguette, diced apples, cooked chorizo mixture, and grated cheddar cheese. I pour the custard over the top, making sure to evenly distribute the liquid throughout the dish. I sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top for an extra burst of flavor.

I bake the bread pudding in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. The aroma of the savory chorizo and sweet apples fills the kitchen, creating a mouth-watering anticipation for the finished dish.

One clever tip for this recipe is to let the bread pudding rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the custard to set further and makes for a cleaner slice when serving. The flavors also have a chance to meld together, creating a more cohesive dish.
