Spiced Bread Pudding with a Double Drizzle


Though bread pudding's roots reach back to Europe as a way to use stale bread, it is its place as a beloved dessert in New Orleans that had me pick it for the dessert at my July demo & tasting at The Quail & Olive this week...and I used fresh bread! Instead of the traditional bourbon sauce, I used the caramel and dark chocolate drizzles by Monin that Anni has in the pantry section of her store.


Ingredients makes 12 individual puddings
  • 6 cups bread (I used a soft white), torn into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup organic dark brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (from Runamok Maple)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (from The Casa Market)
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (from Diaspora Co.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (from Diaspora Co.)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated (from Diaspora Co.)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • Also needed: muffin baking dish, parchment paper or muffin cups; sauces for drizzling

Procedure

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line your muffin hollows with cut parchment paper or muffin cups and set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cream, buttermilk, eggs, and maple syrp until the well-combined.

In a large mixing bowl, add in all of the remaining bread pudding ingredients. Pour the egg mixture over the top, then use a wooden spoon or your hands to incorporate all of the ingredients together. Everything should be moistened and evenly coated with the eggs and spices.

Turn the mixture into your prepared pans and place the pudding in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pudding is firm and golden brown.


To serve place individual puddings on plate. Drizzle with caramel and dark chocolate.


Serve immediately.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
