Butternut Squash and Cheddar Bread Pudding

This savoury butternut squash and cheddar bread pudding is a sophisticated twist on a classic comfort food. Combining the natural sweetness of roasted squash with the salty punch of extra-sharp cheddar and earthy Tuscan kale, it offers a wonderful depth of flavour and texture. The use of day-old baguette ensures the bread holds its shape while soaking up the rich, wine-infused custard, resulting in a dish that is golden on top and beautifully tender in the middle.

As a substantial vegetarian main course or a decadent side dish for a Sunday roast, this bake is incredibly versatile. It is an excellent choice for autumn entertaining or a festive brunch, as much of the preparation can be handled in advance. Serve it warm from the oven to appreciate the bubbling cheese and vibrant colours of the seasonal vegetables.
