Ingredients

  • 1/2 loaf egg-based bread (such as challah or brioche), cut into cubes
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 2 cups deli ham, chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the cubed bread to the mixture. Gently stir to combine, then let the bread steep in the mixture for about 20 minutes.
  3. Place the butter in the inner pot of your rice cooker and turn on the Sauté-then-Simmer® (STS) function. Allow the butter to melt, then sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent and soft.
  4. Stir in the chopped deli ham and continue to sauté for about 10 minutes, or until the ham is slightly seared.
  5. Pour the steeped bread cubes into the inner pot. Mix in the grated cheddar cheese, stirring gently to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
  6. Once everything is well mixed, close the lid of the rice cooker and allow the mixture to simmer until the unit automatically switches to Keep Warm mode.
  7. Serve the bread pudding warm, topped with fresh parsley, and optionally, hot sauce or other condiments according to your preference.
