Carmelized Onion Gruyere Bread Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, saute the onions, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of the salt in the clarified butter over medium-high heat; stir constantly to prevent burning. Cook until golden brown. Add sherry and stir to lift any caramelized onion on the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Spread out the bread pieces evenly on a baking sheet. Place in the oven for about 5 to 8 minutes to dry the bread slightly but not to add color. Set aside to cool.
• Whisk together the eggs, cream, mustard, thyme, the remaining salt, and pepper. Soak the bread in the egg mixture for 5 minutes.
• In a casserole dish, layer the bread with the onions and cheese. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the top.
• Bake for 35 minutes or until the egg mixture is set.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly butter 8x8x2" glass baking dish, or 12 individual 4 oz. ceramic ramekins.
• Heat butter in a heavy large pot over medium heat.
• Add onions, garlic, parsley and thyme and saute until onions are tender and lightly browned.
• Remove pot from heat and season mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
• Whisk eggs, cream, milk, 1/4 cup Parmesan, Gruyere, salt and pepper in a large bowl to blend.
• Add the bread cubes and allow to stand 10 minutes.
• Stir in the sauteed onions.
• Transfer to prepared dish or ramekins.
• Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
• Place the dish or ramekins in a hot water bath, cover with aluminum foil and bake until the pudding is browned, puffed and set in the center (about 1-1.5 hours). Remove foil and allow the tops of the puddings to color.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add leeks, mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, brown sugar and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are soft and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Place bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes or until dry and lightly browned. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a shallow 4-quart baking dish. Combine leek mixture, bread cubes and remaining ingredients. Mix well and let stand 20 minutes. Press mixture into prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. (You may cover and refrigerate the bread pudding up to 4 hours before baking.) Bake about 1 hour, or until pudding is set and golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving.
