How to make Savoury Bread Pudding Recipe
To begin making the Savoury Bread Pudding, first grease a 7 inch baking dish with butter. Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.
Heat olive oil in a small pan and add onion, garlic and sauté for a few seconds, till the onions turn translucent.
Add the mushrooms and stir fry till they begin sweat. Add the rest of the vegetables - zucchini, carrots, bell peppers and spinach, salt and 2 teaspoon pepper and give it a good mix. Take off the heat and add the herbs.
Butter 3 slices of bread and spread the english mustard paste over it. Spread 1-2 tablespoon vegetable mixture on each slice and top it with some grated cheese.
Cover with another bread slice to form a sandwich. Cut each sandwich diagonally into 4 triangles.
Place each triangle vertically in a baking dish. Cut edge placed down.
Sprinkle the leftover vegetable mixture over the bread slices.
In a small mixing bowl add the whisked eggs. Add the milk and whisk till it blends in with the eggs. Add salt and whisk again.
Pour this egg-milk mixture over the arranged sandwich slices and sprinkle herbs, cheese, pepper on top.
Bake in the oven till the custard sets, for about 18-20 minutes. Do not over bake as the pudding will get too dry.
If you think the top of the pudding browns faster cover it with an aluminium foil. Serve hot.
