Truffle Bread Pudding

Sumac Soubise

Cipollini Onions

Tobacco-Smoked Demi

Method

Truffle Bread Pudding

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the brioche bread into cubes and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 10 minutes until slightly golden.

  2. 2

    Make the Custard

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, truffle oil, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine and Soak

    Add the toasted bread cubes to the custard mixture and gently fold to ensure all pieces are coated. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Garnish (Optional)

    If using fresh truffles, shave them over the top of the bread pudding just before serving.

Sumac Soubise

  1. 6

    Sauté Onions

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 10 minutes until translucent but not browned.

  2. 7

    Add Cream and Seasoning

    Stir in the heavy cream, sumac, and salt. Cook for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Blend until smooth in a blender or with an immersion blender.

Cipollini Onions

  1. 8

    Prepare Onions

    Peel the cipollini onions and trim the ends. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 9

    Sauté Onions

    Add the cipollini onions to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 15-20 minutes until caramelized and tender.

Tobacco-Smoked Demi

  1. 10

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine the beef stock, red wine, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 11

    Simmer and Reduce

    Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the butter until melted and incorporated.
