Classic Tomato Bread Pudding
Classic Tomato Bread Pudding marries a gentle sweetness from brown sugar with the bright tang of tomato puree and a whisper of basil. Buttery bread cubes soak up the sauce, baking into a plush, custard-like center with a lightly caramelized crust. It’s a nostalgic side or cozy main for brunch or dinner, especially alongside roasted meats or a crisp salad.
