It's clean out the fridge day. Lets see, a half a basket of mushrooms, some cooked zucchini, two small baked potatoes, some stale rye bread, a small butternut squash out on the porch, a few slices of crispy bacon, some muenster and cheddar, eggs, milk.
It'll be a savory bread pudding. Dice and roast the butternut squash, saute the mushrooms with a little onion, dice up the potato, dice up the bread and soak it in 2 cups of milk with 3 eggs. Salt and pepper to taste, a little dash of nutmeg. Put the bread in a buttered casserole, add all the veggies on top. Pour any egg mixture over the top. You can mix it all together, but let's not mix it all up and see how it comes out.
Bake for 30 minutes, grate the cheeses and spread the cheese all over. Crank up the heat and give it another 30 minutes in the oven.
Dinner's Ready!
Not a gourmet meal but it was tasty and used up a lot of odds and ends in the fridge and cupboard. Nice With slices of pear and a glass of white wine. (Can anything with melted cheese and bacon be bad?) There's even a bit left over for breakfast.
