Tomato And Goat Cheese Bread Pudding

Recipe Ingredients

1/2		Loaf unsliced egg bread
3		Eggs
1/2 cup	118ml	Milk
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
1		Diced peeled tomatoes - (14 1/2 oz)
2 tablespoons	30ml	Chopped fresh basil - see * Note
		Nonstick cooking spray
3 oz	85g	Goat cheese

Recipe Instructions

* Note: If you can't find fresh basil, try using canned diced peeled tomatoes already seasoned with Italian herbs instead.

Cut crust off bottom and ends of egg bread, then cut remaining bread into 1-inch thick slices, then 1-inch cubes. (Top crust gives nice texture to pudding.) Mix together eggs, milk, salt and pepper, then pour over bread cubes. Toss to thoroughly coat bread.

Drain tomatoes, reserving liquid, and toss tomatoes into bread mixture. Chop basil and toss into mixture. It should look wet and a little soggy.

Place bread in 9- by 9-inch baking pan that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick vegetable cooking spray. Crumble goat cheese over top. Drizzle reserved tomato juice over top.

Bake at 425 degrees until liquid is absorbed and top is puffed up and slightly browned, about 20 minutes.
