Savoury Bread Pudding

I did a breakfast, all on my own this morning. It was only for six people, and had to be delivered to a friend's house, so it didn't even feel like working. Anyway, I tried a new recipe from the folks at Tall Grass Prairie.

We really love their breads and other food. When we're catering something big and can't make the bread or dessert or whatever on our own, we use their's. Anyway, we've really loved their Savoury Bread Pudding when we've gone to the Forks so when I saw the recipe in a local magazine, I thought I'd give it a whirl.

For once I actually stuck to the recipe. Except I didn't have marjoram and so I used lots of thyme instead. That is about the closest I've stayed to a recipe in years. If I made it for the home crowd, I'd probably try use milk instead of cream. That cholesterol thing, you know?

Apparently the people at the breakfast approved.

8 cups chopped vegetables (onions, peppers, mushrooms, celery, zucchini, asparagus, garlic)
1 Tbsp marjoram
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
3 Tbsp Grass Roots fresh pressed organic sunflower oil

2 1/2 cups cream
1 cup diced fresh herbs (parsley, basil, rosemary, dill)
12 cups cubed bread
3/4 cup grated Romano cheese

3. Add bread, fresh herbs and Romano cheese to one part of egg mixture.
