So after my amazing experience at Sideboard in Danville I decided to peruse the internet for a recipe for what they called their Breakfast Pudding. Sure enough, after a couple days of investigative work, looking and reading about the dish in the Joy of Cooking and searching all through the internet, I found something that could possibly rival the delectableness of it. So I decided that I would make Whitney and I a nice Sunday Brunch. We had boiled Yukon gold potatoes with a Garlic and Shallot Aioli, what they call breakfast pudding I am calling “Crustless Quiche” (technical term Timbale) and orange juice and grenadine spritzers (Couldn’t do champagne, since she had to work). The meal was excellent and everything was really nice. A great way to start a Sunday!
I of course deviated from the initial recipe, (mainly because it calls for asparagus, and it is not in season, and because I always want to do it my way) so here is Nick Crespo’s recipe for Crustless Quiche, Baked Eggs, Timbale, Breakfast Pudding or whatever the hell you want to call it:
Crustless Quiche
(Serves 4 people in individual ramekins)
7 eggs
1/2 cup of milk
8 strips of cooked bacon, chopped roughly
1/4 cup of drained, steamed, chopped spinach
1/4 cup of shredded cheese (Could be extra sharp cheddar, gruyère, or goat cheese)
1/4 cup of shredded parmesan cheese (I use Parmigiano Reggiano)
Salt & Pepper (about 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper plus additional cracked pepper before being served)
Whisk eggs and milk thoroughly, and then mix all ingredients together and place in individual six-ounce ramekins. Place in hot water bath (roasting pan filled with water almost to lip of ramekins) and bake for about 45 minutes to an hour, in a 375° degree oven. The dish is done when a ramekin is jiggled and the mixture no longer trembles (or you can stick a knife in the middle of one and take a look if cooked through). Careful when taking them out of the hot water bath! Happy cooking!
