bread pudding-quiche.

Cleaning, Day 2: Some stale bread, hunks of cheese…a savory bread pudding?  *Badabing!*

And then it was quiche.

bread pudding or quiche?  who knows.

CHEESEY BREAD PUDDING-QUICHE with SHISO.  Freakin Good.

Ingredients: (4 servings)

2 tbs butter
3 shallots, chopped
1 cup grated cheese*
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup milk
2 eggs
¼ cup raisins (soak in brandy)
5 leaves shiso
2 cups crusty french bread, cubed
¼ cup panko for topping

*As this was part of my cheese-cleaning project, I used a variety of unlabeled cheeses that were hanging out in my fridge - cheddar, some kind of blue cheese, and gouda (I think).

Sauté the shallots in butter, about 2 min.  Pour butter and shallots over grated cheese and stir.  Add heavy cream, eggs, milk, raisins, shiso, and bread cubes - mix well until bread is soaked.  Pour into buttered dish and sprinkle with panko.  Bake at 350F for 45 min; broil for another 5 min or until top is brown.  Gets a FG stamp of approval!

Hi Hubs.  Last night, when I came back from the bathroom at 3am and you started jabbering nonsense, I thought you were talking in your sleep - until I realized it was way too long to be sleep-talk, and you finally broke out the “woo!”.  Thanks for the serenade.
