Directions

  1. Grease 2 baking dishes with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Cut sourdough loaf into 1-inch cubes and divide cubes between the dishes.

  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook leeks in the melted butter until they begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining butter, mushrooms, salt, and pepper, cook until mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes.

  3. Spoon mushroom mixture over the bread. Mix cream, eggs, 2/3 of the cheeses, thyme, and parsley together in a large bowl. Pour over the bread and mushrooms. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.

  4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Uncover puddings and sprinkle remaining cheeses on top.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until tops begin to brown, about 40 minutes.

Recipe Note

This savory bread pudding was inspired by a lunch I had at a food cart in Portland long ago. It works well as a vegetarian main dish or as a substantial side dish.
