List of Ingredients




This is a delicous dish that's a cross between a savory bread pudding and a quiche. Try it and see for yourself if it doesn't become one of your favorites.

5 cups cubed French bread
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups grated Swiss cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
8 eggs

Sauce:
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1-1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup dry white wine
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of dry mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup sour cream

Recipe



For sauce: In a medium pan, sauté garlic and onions in butter. Add flour and mix well. Cook briefly, then pour in broth and wine. Add nutmeg, dry mustard, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Set aside.

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place bread cubes in dish and pour melted butter over bread. Sprinkle grated cheeses over all.

Place eggs and sauce in a food processor and mix well. Pour over bread and cheese. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 30 minutes, until set.


Note: Must be made 24 hours in advance. Experiment with alternatives to the Swiss cheese, such as Gruyère, Jarlsberg and Emmenthaler.
