Savoury Bread Pudding
November 15, 2007 | 30 Comments
Cathy @ Not Eating Out in New York is a real sport.
One of her readers remarked that her Baba Ghanoush was “the ugliest delicious food”.
So Cathy announced The Ugliest Gourmet contest inviting entries for “your most unsightly yet delicious dish”.
Ha!!!! We had a sure winner in the looks department with our f’ugly dirty diaper dish.
Her Baba Ghanoush looks angelic in contrast. The problem was that the dirty diaper also tasted like one.
So we turned to our Savoury Bread Pudding, which is really delish, without the looks to match.
We followed Nic’s recipe for Artichoke and Parmesan Bread Pudding, with a few changes. This is the perfect dish to use up odds and ends from the fridge.
Savoury Bread Pudding
4-5 cups whole wheat bread, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup egg whites (or 4 whole eggs)
2 cups milk (we used lowfat)
1/2 cup chopped black olives
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp roasted and crushed cumin
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (finely shredded)
1 cup chopped artichoke hearts (from a jar)
1/4 cup chopped sundried tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped spring onions (greens and white)
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, cayenne, pepper, cumin, thyme and parmesan cheese. Stir in bread chunks, chopped spring onions, lemon zest, black pepper, olives, sundried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Let mixture stand, pressing down occasionally, for at least 15-20 minutes so the bread can soak up the milk mixture.
3. Pour into an 8-inch square baking dish (ungreased) and bake for 45-50 minutes, until a knife comes out fairly clean (but moist) when inserted into the center.
4. Can be served hot or at room temperature.
This goes to Cathy @ Not Eating Out in New York for The Ugliest Gourmet contest.
Cathy wants a plated pic. Sorry, Cathy, it didn’t get plated. It was just a delicious gloppy mess that went from the serving dish to the spoon to our mouths.

Which is your entry? First one is look good to me, must have tasted ugly but then it’s all your fault if it did!;D
Savory Bread pudding sounds yum but it does look ugly scary like a one eyed monster! Great entry btw!:)
hahahha..nice joke!.. :laugh:..but you in btw I think you purposely did it to look like this for the event…
Haha good one, bread pudding looks yummy. I don’t eat eggs so is there any alternative??
silken tofu. 1/4 cup to replace each whole egg or two whites. – b.
If you call the first picture ugly, then you should change the definition of ugly
.
Second picture….I am 100% sure you purposely took “bad picture” for the event
.
don’t underesdtimate us. see response to ashwini below.
– b.
The first pic looks cool.
And i agree with Shilpa!
Rocking Entry :yes:
I second Srivalli, u ppl must have purposefully did something to look like this :hmm: ( with ur photogrphic skills u see :shh:)
I agree.. given a chance I know that you are very capable of making that savoury pudding look lovely but you just stopped it here..
That is a really funny event!!! Dirty Diaper!! eeks!! reminds me of the scene in the recent movie “Hey Baby!!”
I’m gonna try concentrate on the recipe rather than the pic:)

I’ve been staring into the second picture, and it looks liek a side view a dog’s face to me! with black eyes & a green nose..I even see a mouth! :laugh:
looks more like a pig to me. – b.
Aww come on….you guys just tried your damndest to take a bad pic I am sure. Wouldnt mind that doing myself sometimes… posting a decent pic is stressful
Now you should start a contest asking people to describe what the pudding looks like to them. RP has set the ball rolling already.
My bit? stuffing of a reaaaaaaalllly ancient pillow that hasn’t been washed in ages :laugh:
bad pics happen. this one was taken about six months ago one day when we just couldn’t give a damn how it turned out. we forgot about it until this event showed up. – b.
Now that recipe is for keepers…never m,ind how it looks,must have tasted gorgeous.
hey, where did that”,”come from :embarrass
The bread pudding sounds amazing. I never would have thought to do a savory. I may have to make this for Thanksgiving.
I had a pic of stuffed figs that looked like that creature from ‘Tremors’. Its all in a day’s work.
Does it have to look ugly in the pic or in real when plated ? I have many ugly pics that never got posted. Maybe I should send all of them to this event
Now this is an event!
Did you say the artichoke hearts were FROM A JAR? :love:
Looks yummy
That event sounds interesting
for a ‘no photographic skills’ person like me 
. Even the tastiest dishes photo turn out ugly :embarrass, it is stressfull to take a good pic :devil:
Breadpudding looks ugly indeed, so gr8 entry for the event. :dance:
Somehow, I like the glorious colours in that spoon and in the background. I also had another look after seeing the dog and pig comments and there IS a resemblance, but I still like the pic.
oh i see the dog/pig too…. bread pudding looks yummy yaar
Ugly? These two pics? Its on BTW beauty is on the eyes of the beholder. Both the pics looks lovely to me. I think a dish with raddish will look ugly to u bee
)
what are you guys going to come up with next?? dirty diaper!!
The savoury bread pudding looks ugly but sure it must have tasted good.
hey the bread pudding looks yummy to me too, I think we must me into ugly food.
[...] and Jai’s creamy, flavorful Savory Bread Pudding makes my mouth water… but definitely has that “What is it?” factor going for it [...]
Yours is actually the best picture on the list! Mine is not on the list.
I prepared this one with buttermilk, onions and spinach and it was sooooooooooooo good! Thanks to you both
I have to try this
thanks guys
J/B –
Thanks for the inspiration! We made a savory bread pudding a few days ago based on this and another recipe. It was delicious.
