There was a bit of my apple chutney hanging around in the fridge. And there was a half loaf of bread on the kitchen counter so I thought let's put these two together. After a very rainy day yesterday Apple Chutney Bread Pudding sounded very comforting. This was the perfect way to use up the leftover apple chutney. Again bread pudding is easy. All you need is 6 eggs, 1 and 3/4 cups of milk, sugar, cinnamon, butter, 10 slices of day old bread and of coarse apple chutney.
I buttered an oven-proof baking dish and buttered the slices of bread. Then I cut the slices of bread in half. Arranged half of the bread slices buttered side up in the bottom of the dish. Then spread the apple chutney on top. Sprinkle with some sugar. Crack the six eggs into a bowl add the milk. Whisk together. Pour some of the mixture over top of the chutney covered bread slices. Wait about a minute for some of the mixture to be soaked up by the bread. Then place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up. Pour the remaining egg mixture on top. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Place in a preheated 350ºF oven for 40 - 45 minutes. Serve hot!
Although this is not the most glamorous photo... I wanted to share this sight. I absolutely luv how the bread pudding swells and puffs up in the oven. When it does this you know it is not long before it will be reaching it's true destiny... your stomach!
You can serve it with whatever you like. I chose a nice drizzle of golden syrup and a sprinkle of cardamom! - JW
