Good Morning! Your holiday kitchen will smell like sweet French toast when you pull this custard-based bread pudding casserole from the oven. I adore the combination of tart cranberries and savory rosemary, an ideal holiday breakfast.
BREAKFAST PUDDING
Just the name of this recipe puts you immediately in the mood for a holiday breakfast event, you don’t want to miss this recipe. A simple bread pudding is made from cubes of sourdough bread soaked overnight with cranberries in an egg batter and made slightly savory with fresh rosemary and lemon. In the morning you are ready to bake.
STAUB GRATIN
My Staub Oval Gratin is a treasured Little Jewel. This beautiful color was from the Jenni Kayne Home Collection, where I worked as a designer. William Sonoma carries the oval gratin available in a a pretty graphite color. The gratin’s shape and depth make it a perfect vessel for so many recipes that require a large crust area, such as this Cranberry-Rosemary Breakfast Pudding. Easy to prepare and a joy to serve.
It is served here with a cranberry whipped crème fraîche, taking it to the dessert level.
CHEF &THE FARMER
This recipe was originated by Vivian Howard, of Chef & the Farmer in North Carolina which sadly closed. Hopeful she will continue her cookbooks, A Chef ‘s Life show and perhaps open another restaurant. Cheers.
As always, enjoy. B
