Leek and Stilton Bread and Butter Pudding
A savoury leek and stilton bread and butter pudding recipe.
Bread and Butter pudding is one of Britain's most traditional and loved puddings, and I couldn't resist putting a savoury spin on this classic using one of my favourite cheeses, Stilton.
This savoury bread and butter pudding recipe is very filling and perfect with a crispy green salad on the side!

I just love savory bread puddings and yours looks divine. I have to run next store and ask my British neighbor what Granary bread is though!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so comforting. Bet it tasted wonderful. I find dishes with blue cheese very rich too, so can imagine a small slice would have gone a long way!
ReplyDeleteI literally oohed and aahed when I saw your picture. That looks phenomenal. Writing it down and won't be able to think of anything else till I make it.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is immediately going into my bookmarks to make next week. I hope I get leeks from the farm. I have a question though, I'm not sure I can get granary bread here, any ideas for a substitution? Would whole wheat work?
ReplyDeleteI must make this! It will have to be in miniature form as Phil will not touch Stilton with a ten foot pole. (I always knew that there was something wrong with him)Now for me to work on scaling down the ingredients to make a tiny bread pudding.
ReplyDeleteWhat a comforting dish for a rainy day! I bet the stilton is great in this pudding! YUM!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a savory recipe for bread pudding. I have to admit I very intrigued. I am adding this to my "try soon" list!
ReplyDeleteBeth what's really nice pudding!! look so yummy Gloria
ReplyDeleteKat - Whole wheat would be fine, or white for that matter!
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth. I can't wait to try it
ReplyDeleteA fabulous variation on an old favourite. I really need to try this.
ReplyDeleteI can't stop thinking about this stuff. I came back just to gawk....
