Name: Thai Basil Lime Bread Pudding
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 sourdough loaf, stale; 3 cups milk; 1/2 cup chicken broth; 5 large eggs; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg; zest and juice of one key lime; 1/4 cup thai basil, cut in chiffonade; 1/2 pound asparagus; some white mushrooms; 1/2 cup gruyere

Servings: persons

1 sourdough loaf, stale
3 cups milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
zest and juice of one key lime
1/4 cup thai basil, cut in chiffonade
1/2 pound asparagus
some white mushrooms
1/2 cup gruyere

1
Cut loaf into 1 inch cubes and let sit overnight so the bread can dry out. Or you can cut it up just before and stick them in the oven on 250u00b0 F for about 20 minutes until they dry out a little but. Works just as well!
2
Whisk together milk, eggs, chicken broth, salt, pepper, olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Then add the nutmeg, and the lime zest and juice. Throw in the bread cubes, toss, and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
3
In the meantime, break the hard ends off of the asparagus, cut them into one inch pieces and throw them in. Then wash, stem and chop the mushrooms (however you wish) and throw them in too. Be careful not to toss too much since the bread tends to disintegrate.
4
Pour into your baking dish (I used a springform cheesecake pan that I lined with parchment paper so it wouldn't leak) and then sprinkle the gruyere on top, liberally coating the pudding.
5
Bake at 400u00b0 F for about 40 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
