Savory Bread Pudding by Chef Elle

Procedure

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

To prepare bread cubes, line a baking pan with parchment paper. Toss bread cubes in melted butter and 6 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Bake bread cubes until they are browned, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Set a small pot over medium heat and add remaining olive oil and white portion of scallions, cooking 2 to 3 minutes.

Combine goat cheese and cream cheese and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, cream, milk, Pecorino Romano cheese, half the goat cheese and sour cream mixture, green and white scallion pieces. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Lightly coat baking dish with oil or nonstick spray. Add toasted bread cubes to mixture and stir well. Dollop the remaining goat cheese and sour cream on top. Set aside for 30 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the custard.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Just before placing the dish in the oven, lay a piece of parchment paper on top and bake 40 minutes or until the bread pudding is set and the top has begun to brown. (serves 6-8)
