Strawberry Rhubarb Bread Pudding with Strawberry Rhubarb Compote and Clotted Cream

As submitted by Melissa Breyer for Epicurious.com’s Favorite Mother’s Day Recipe Contest.
I like to make bread pudding in a springform pan or a silicone cake pan so that it can be unmolded, it elevates the dish from casserole-like to a more elegant dessert form.

  • For the bread pudding:

  • 2 cups organic milk

  • 2 cups chopped rhubarb, leaves removed and stalks washed

  • 2 cups quartered strawberries, hulled and washed

  • 1 cup honey

  • 2 large organic eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 10 cups day-old bread cubes (challah, brioche, baguette, etc.)

  • For the compote:

  • 1 cup chopped rhubarb, leaves removed and stalks washed

  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered

  • 3 tablespoons honey

  • Garnish: Clotted cream, whipped cream, Greek yogurt

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • 2. Whisk milk, eggs and vanilla in large bowl to blend. Fold in rhubarb, strawberries, and bread cubes and let stand for 15 minutes. Put pudding mixture in a 9-inch springform pan.

  • 3. Bake bread pudding until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

  • 4. While bread pudding is baking, combine compote ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over medium low heat until reduced and thickened to a soup jam consistency. Remove from heat.

  • 5. Remove bread pudding from oven, let cool. When ready to serve, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the sides. Remove ring from pan.

  • 6. Slice bread pudding like a cake and serve with compote and a dab of clotted cream (or other dairy).
