SAVORY BREAD PUDDING (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and peppercorns and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juice and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a bowl, combine eggs and mustard. Beat to blend. Add milk and beat well. Set aside.
• Lightly grease the slow cooker stoneware. Spoon in one-third of the tomato mixture. Spread half the bread evenly over top and sprinkle evenly with half the cheese. Repeat, finishing with final third of tomato mixture. Pour milk mixture evenly over top.
• Place two clean tea towels, each folded in half (so you will have 4 layers), over top of stoneware to absorb the moisture. (This is to prevent accumulated moisture from dripping on the bread by absorbing the liquid generated during cooking).
• Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours, until pudding is set and edges are browning.

SWEET AND SAVORY BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Set an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish. Set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the butternut squash and parsnips. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until slightly softened. Set aside to cool.
• Add the bread to a large bowl.
• In another bowl mix together the heavy cream, eggs, brandy, vegetable oil, brown sugar, cinnamon and thyme. Pour the cream mixture over the bread and toss gently to coat. Add the cooled vegetables and toss until the bread is coated. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the bread pudding is puffed and golden.

CROCK POT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together until bread crumbs are thoroughly wet, and mixture is smooth like thick oatmeal.
• Place mixture in a WELL greased crock pot.
• Cook on high for 4-5 hours, or until a knife stuck in middle of the"pudding" comes out fairly clean.
• NOTE: For the last 1/2 hour of cooking, lift the lid a"crack" by putting a spoon or fork between it and the pot, to let the excess moisture escape; otherwise you will have a clear liquid all around the bread pudding.
• Bread pudding should rise slightly like a cake while cooking, and be smooth on top.
• It should be fairly solid when done, like a very moist chewy brownie, or perhaps like a dense souffle.
