I am a convert to bread pudding of the savory sort – I finally tried Thomas Keller’s Leek Bread Pudding, and it was fantastic.
My changes were to add sauteed wild mushrooms and caramelized onions in addition to (double) the leeks, and a last minute swap to stuffing cubes for the bread croutons (because someone decided to add a turkey to the menu). I increased the liquid to account for the moisture gap of stuffing, and let it all soak together for a day and half.
Intense and delicious. Highly recommend just with the leeks, but I love mushrooms, and they went great in this.
