Cheese Pudding Recipes

SARAH'S SAVOURY BREAD AND CHEESE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Make 2 cheese sandwiches by placing cheese slice between 2 bread slices and pressing together. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles and arrange in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Mix together beaten eggs, milk, salt and pepper; pour mixture over sandwiches and sprinkle with grated cheese. (Note: Vary amounts if needed; sandwiches do not need to be totally covered in egg mixture, but egg should soak in and leave a little in the bottom of the dish.)
• Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown, checking frequently.

CHEESECAKE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk the milk, heavy cream, lemon zest, salt and 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until combined. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
• While the mixture heats, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup/100 grams sugar and the cornstarch in a medium, heat-safe bowl. Add the egg yolks and whisk until the mixture forms a thick paste.
• When the milk mixture comes to a simmer, remove it from the heat. Whisking constantly, gradually add about a third of the hot milk mixture to the egg-yolk mixture in a slow, steady stream until combined. Transfer the contents of the bowl to the saucepan and whisk well to combine.
• Heat over medium-low and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, 6 to 8 minutes. (Once the mixture thickens, you may find it easier to switch to a silicone spatula for stirring.) Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil with large bubbles breaking at the surface, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat, and whisk in the cream cheese and the vanilla. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a heat-safe bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding (this prevents a "skin" from forming) and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Serve the pudding in bowls or on small plates. Top with crumbled cookies and fresh berries, if desired.
