Bread and Butter pudding is one of Britain's most traditional and loved desserts, and I couldn't resist putting a savoury spin on this classic using my favourite cheese, Stilton.
The original recipe came from a past edition of BBC Good Food magazine. Let me warn you though it is very filling but also very easy to adapt with other ingredients. Serve with a green salad.
Ingredients:
8 slices Granary Bread
TBSP Dijon Mustard
Butter
2 Leeks
200g Stilton
200g Cheddar
3 eggs
500ml Milk
Seasoning
Method:
Step 1: Fry leeks in a little oil until soft.
Step 2: Butter and mustard one side of each slice of bread and cut each slice into quarters
Step 3: Mix together the eggs. milk, salt and pepper to make an egg custard.
Step 4: Lay third of bread on the bottom of an ovenproof dish (butter side up), top with a third of leeks and third of cheeses. Pour over a third of egg custard mixture.
Step 5: Repeat the process until all ingredients have been used up. Leave to soak for 20 minutes
Step 6: Preheat oven to 190 and bake for 30-40 minutes.

Wow, that looks great and I agree that it is a perfect rainy day dish! It is still raining here *sigh*
You had me at "Pudding."
I need to try Stilton...I don't think I've had it before.
I like strong cheeses.
Beth that looks simply yummy and perfect like you say for rainy days like the ones we keep having!

I just love savory bread puddings and yours looks divine. I have to run next store and ask my British neighbor what Granary bread is though!
That looks so comforting. Bet it tasted wonderful. I find dishes with blue cheese very rich too, so can imagine a small slice would have gone a long way!
I literally oohed and aahed when I saw your picture. That looks phenomenal. Writing it down and won't be able to think of anything else till I make it.
Oh, that is immediately going into my bookmarks to make next week. I hope I get leeks from the farm. I have a question though, I'm not sure I can get granary bread here, any ideas for a substitution? Would whole wheat work?
I must make this! It will have to be in miniature form as Phil will not touch Stilton with a ten foot pole. (I always knew that there was something wrong with him)Now for me to work on scaling down the ingredients to make a tiny bread pudding.
What a comforting dish for a rainy day! I bet the stilton is great in this pudding! YUM!
I have never seen a savory recipe for bread pudding. I have to admit I very intrigued. I am adding this to my "try soon" list!
Beth what's really nice pudding!! look so yummy Gloria
Kat - Whole wheat would be fine, or white for that matter!
Thanks Beth. I can't wait to try it
A fabulous variation on an old favourite. I really need to try this.
I can't stop thinking about this stuff. I came back just to gawk....
Wowee does that ever look goooood!
I am so very tempted, need to get leeks!
I wonder if all of us are making curry this week.. hehe
Ooh, that's a new one on me - savoury B&B pudding. I love it! Looks like ultimate comfort food
What a tasty creation you have here Beth and just perfect for the weather we've been having lately!

Mmm... leeks and stilton, two of my favourite things. It looks gorgeous, Beth!
