Remember my mother did this once but can't really recall what's the ingredients in this pudding. All I know is there were tuna in it. Well, as you know that bread pudding is a dessert popular in British, Mexico and others. It used to be sweet as it is a dessert. The bread is soaked (often overnight), squeezed dry, and mixed with the other ingredients. The mixture is transferred into a dish and baked. But I changed it into something different today, and it was fantastic!!! Something that I never cooked before and most of all my daughter loves it so much..:)
I made it in a very simple way and these are the only ingredients you need.
Ingredients:4 slices of bread (cubes)
3 cups of milk
2 eggs (beaten)
2 tsps salt
Some shredded cheddar cheese
A can of tuna in oil (drained & mashed)
1 tomato (chopped)
1 green pepper (chopped)
1 onion (chopped)
a little butter cubes
Method:~ Beat eggs and salt together and mix with milk. Set aside.
~ Greased a 8x4" rectangle tin and fill a layer of bread cubes at the bottom.
~ Sprinkle some butter cubes and follow by the mashed tuna.
~ Then sprinkle some green peppers, tomato and onions and covered with shredded cheddar cheese.
~ Lastly cover the top with some bread cubes and pour the milk mixture all over to cover the bread.
~ Bake at 200'C for 25-30 mins and serve hot.
The top was so crispy and the inside is so creamy and soft. SUPER YUMMY!!!
It taste like pizza but it was much lighter. It was so good that my daughter and I finished the whole loaf of it. Yup!! Only 2 of us!! Asked why I didn't cook this for her before since it is so delicious..;p
Trust me, it was so good that you'll eat that all up by yourself..;) It was definetely a good bread pudding for dinner. Or should I say bread pizza?...haha!
I definetely had a great day after all...Cheers!!
A savoury bread pudding, really very creative. The beauty of all your postings here is that they can be varied and made into a thousand other fillings Reese!

ReplyDeleteHi Quinn,

Hi Reese!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry! My window pop ups got mixed up and I typed in the wrong comments!
Nonetheless, it the very FIRST time I've seen a savory bread pudding.
Definitely a different twist from the only bread pudding i know (bread and butter pudding) bleah!
Once again, sorry for the blunder!! =X
You Fei
No worries, Youfei...:) This is a must try recipe I can say...it's really different and most of all its delicious!...^-^
ReplyDeleteHi Reese,
ReplyDeleteThanks for so forgiving =p pardon my blur-ness hehe..
I love tuna bread and this looks perfect for ANYTIME of the day. breakfast, lunch, tea break, dinner or even supper!!
I'll definitely give it a shot!
This looks like a great and easy recipe! I like that it uses storecupboard staples like tinned fish, so that it's easily available and cheap! I'm a student studying in london now, so i often use tinned sardines or other fishes, but of course , not just in sandwiches! this is another new great idea (:
