Whole Grain Bread Pudding with Winter Squash and Sage
PUBLISHED December 20, 2021
If you regularly eat (or bake!) good bread, you’re going to have some extra on the counter or in the freezer. I like whole grain in bread pudding for its heartiness. All you need is some dairy, eggs, vegetables, and seasonings and you’ve got a delicious winter whole-meal casserole. You can splurge on the cheese, but don’t need to. This time of year, odds and ends from holiday snacking are the perfect solution. Nor do you have to make the whole recipe; it halves and even quarters quite easily for four or two servings. And finally, the winter squash is also easy to adjust: Either roast some other root vegetable, sauté some greens instead, or use whatever you cooked last night. You can serve hot; or cool the pudding, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, cover with foil and heat in a 325°F oven for about 15 minutes; remove the foil and heat for another 5 minutes or so for a crisper top and edges. It also microwaves on medium quite well. Enough with imagining the possibilities. Let’s start baking.
