Onion pudding is one of my favorite recipes that has always been a big hit every time I had friends over. It is a wonderful side dish that is best served warm. It’s creamy, rich and the addition of cheese makes it a satisfyingly cheesy dish (pun intended). The herbs used in this dish gives it a lot of flavor.
I usually set this pudding in individual small bowls, but you can also set it a large flat bowl and serve it in scoops. Setting this dish in small individual bowls also makes it very presentable during parties. Whenever I have get togethers at my place I usually mix all the ingredients and put it in oven just 30 minutes before the arrival of the guest. Serving it crispy, golden and warm for the best experience.
My Inspiration for Onion Pudding
Going through my old recipe books I came upon my old loyal friend, my tried and tasted recipe list. These are the recipes that have worked out best for me. On top of this list was the name of my favorite pudding, that is Onion pudding. Feeling excited I couldn’t wait to share my this recipe with all of you. There are lot of variations of this recipe out there. But this recipe is little different than your traditional onion pudding recipe. I have used 3 types of herbs, habanero sauce, dijon mustard and to top it all a little liquid smoke to give it a faint smoky flavor. As you go through this recipe you will find it is a very uncomplicated and effortless dish.
So, try out this recipe and let me know if this was your tummy to heart moment.
