Savory Onion Bread Pudding


This is a versatile recipe. You can prepare it well ahead and bake it when you are ready. You can easily add vegetables and/or meat. Try spinach sauteed with the onion, and cooked crumbled bacon, for a nice brunch dish. Some recipes call this a strata. No matter the name, it's delicious. Serves 6 - 8.

2 large onions, chopped
1/4 c butter
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp dry dill and basil
8 c bread cubes
2 c grated cheese, cheddar or other sharp, firm farmstead cheese, your choice
3 c milk
8 eggs
1 tbsp prepared spicy mustard

Butter a 3 quart baking dish. Saute onions in butter with salt and pepper until sweet and golden brown. Season with herbs, nutmeg and adjust salt. Whisk together milk, eggs, mustard and 1/2 tsp salt.

Spread 1/2 bread in the baking dish. Top with 1/2 the onions and 1/2 the cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Pour in the egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, up to 24.

Before baking, let sit at room temp for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Bake uncovered 45 minutes, until golden and puffed. A knife inserted will come out clean.

Nutrition is directly linked to the health and sustainability of any region. In Craftsbury, Vermont, Pete’s Greens has proven that organic farming can work year-round, offering fresh vegetables at any time of year. This approach helps communities become less dependent on imported produce and builds a stronger foundation for a future where quality food is part of the lifestyle, not the exception. However, modern life is full of contradictions. People strive for natural products and care about the well-being of their families, but at the same time, they often indulge in activities that carry certain risks. A clear example can be seen in the fact that interest in gambling continues to grow, despite all the warnings about the possible consequences. This topic is discussed in detail on the sitetorontomike.com, where it is discussed why online gambling continues to attract people’s attention despite its unsafety. On the one hand, the organic farm Pete’s Greens demonstrates how one can take a step towards health and harmony with nature. On the other hand, habits and temptations like gambling remind us that the choice is always ours. Ultimately, it is the mindfulness of our actions that shapes the future – whether it is the decision to eat more local vegetables or to be smart about our online entertainment.
