Savory Italian Bread Pudding

[The Chicken Lady]

I started a thread with a recipe for a sweet bread pudding and Barbo suggested trying a savory bread pudding so I Googled several recipes and put this one together as an experiment. I really liked it and the family did too.

Savory Italian Bread Pudding

Make (4) 1 minute muffins…slice into 4 slices each
1 small package of sliced pepperoni
2 medium size tomatoes, halved and thickly sliced
1 can of sliced mushrooms
Green can Parmesan cheese
2 cups Mozzarella cheese
8 large eggs
1 cup LC milk
1-1/4 cups sour cream
Garlic salt
Italian seasoning
Pepper

Preheat oven to 350°
Spray with cooking spray a 9x13-inch baking dish
Cover the bottom of the baking dish with muffin slices.
Cover muffin slices with pepperoni.
Cover pepperoni with tomato slices
Sprinkle mushrooms over tomatoes and pepperoni
Sprinkle with garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese to taste
Whisk eggs and sour cream together until smooth, add milk and stir.
Fold in Mozzarella cheese and pour evenly over pan.
Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until custard is set.

Chicken Lady that looks wonderful. Do you know what the Carb count is ?Thanks Mad

That does look good; maybe serve with meatballs as an lc alternative to meatball parm sandwhiches?

Chicken Lady, do you think the one minute muffins are probably as good, or maybe even better, for this particular purpose than something like Kevin's "pita" roll bread?

I don't know...I really don't count carbs I just don't eat foods that I'm not supposed to.

I don't know...I'm retired and live on a fixed income so the only low carb specialty foods that I buy are almond flour, Liquid Splenda, Erythritol and SteviaPlus. So I've never tasted the Pita bread.

You are so sweet!!!

Well they say, "necessity is the mother of invention"…and I’ve found that low carbers are a very inventive group of people.

Oh my gosh, my wish was your wonderful recipe come true!

Ho does that look gorgeous. Beautiful picture. I can almost
taste it. We just finished off the bread pudding. Time to
make this savory dish. I need more almond flour

If you don't have a garden try to find some home grown tomatoes at a fruit stand or farmer's market. They make it a really special treat.

I meant to post on this last week but forgot! This was fantastic. I love custards, and bread pudding and this was super. It tasted a lot like pizza to me, but even better (the farm fresh tomato really was key, so yummy!). Thanks for this recipe! I made a few modifications based on what was in the fridge (and I 1/2'd the recipe because DH doesn't like bread pudding) and it was great as breakfast/lunch or dinner!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Yes it does taste a lot like pizza but richer in my opinion...very satisfying.

Very filling also. Can't wait to try the sweet version! YUM!

[JunkInMyTrunk]

My that looks fantastic...............

I often revisit the sweet bread pudding recipe and gaze at it. I still haven't made it, but I plan on it. I'll also be making this one when my tomatoes ripen.

Thanks for all your hard work. Your recipes are always wonderful!

I have found that I like the sweet version with some cream in it, not just the milk. It just makes it way yummier.
