How to make Fall Squash and Leek Bread Pudding

Preheat oven to 177°C. Butter a 13x9" glass or ceramic baking dish; set aside. Spread out brioche on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 25–30 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a large bowl.

Heat remaining 60ml butter in a large skillet over medium. Cook squash, leeks, and thyme, stirring occasionally until squash is tender, 10–12 minutes. Mix in a pinch of cayenne; season with salt. Transfer to bowl with brioche.

Whisk eggs, cream, milk, sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and a pinch of cayenne in a large bowl to combine.

Add 120g cheese to bowl with brioche and toss to evenly distribute. Transfer to prepared baking dish and pour 1200ml egg mixture over; gently press bread into liquid to coat. Pour remaining egg mixture over and let sit 15 minutes.

Scatter remaining 60g cheese over bread pudding and bake until puffed and custard is set in the centre, 60–75 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
