Description

This cheesy, decadent hybrid between bread pudding and stuffing is the perfect Thanksgiving side.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2-3 cups (480-720 ml) diced day-old bread (let it get good and dried out)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) minced leeks
  • 1 pear, peeled, cored and diced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350*F. In a large bowl, toss together the bread, leeks, diced pear and cheddar. Combine the eggs, heavy cream, garlic and salt. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and toss to distribute evenly.
  2. Dump the contents into a 9″x13? ovenproof baking dish and spread out evenly, making sure all the ingredients are still evenly distributed.
  3. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the egg and cream mixture has set and the top bread cubes have browed and crisped. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
