Savory Bread Pudding with Tomato and Basil

The historical bread pudding has been around since the 11th century. It was originally made to use all leftover bread and to not leave anything behind, that is why it was referred to as poor man’s pudding. Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is not your “poor man’s pudding” anymore (even though the practice of using left-over and stale bread is still done today). Now, this dish has been recreated thousands of ways as an appetizer, side, or most commonly, a dessert item.

This recipe, however, brings bread pudding to you as a savory and salty treat. Savory bread pudding? Tell me more. This unique recipe combines few quality ingredients for an explosion of flavor. Textured and cooked correctly, the bread pudding is sure to be a big hit at your dinner party, potluck, or at any meal. Ditch the ordinary and skip right to tomato and bread pudding, you and your guests will love this twist on an old favorite.
