Hawaiian Bread--Recipe Ideas

[kate4]

I bought a large loaf of this for the CL Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding and now have a lot left. Does anyone have a good recipe using it? The only other time I've had it was chunked up to dip in spinach-artichoke dip. While that sounds delicious, I'm looking for something else.

Maybe a baked french toast or another bread pudding? I could try a sandwich as well...

Thanks!

I vaguely remember seeing a recipe for a sandwich very recently, maybe in the March CL. I'll see if I can find it if you don't have the issue.

This was pretty tasty for a savory bread pudding!

Ham and Swiss Bread Pudding
From Cooking Light

Cooking spray
1 1/4 cups chopped green onions
3/4 cup chopped ham (about 3 ounces)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
7 (1-ounce) Hawaiian bread rolls, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 3/4 cups fat-free milk
3/4 cup egg substitute
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese, divided

Heat a small nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onions, ham, and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Arrange bread cubes on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned, turning occasionally.

Combine milk and next 5 ingredients (milk through nutmeg) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Stir in ham mixture. Add bread, tossing gently to coat.

Arrange half of bread mixture in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with half of cheese; top with remaining bread mixture. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake an additional 20 minutes or until set.

I make breakfast sandwiches on Hawaiian bread. Lightly toast 2 pieces of bread...I don't usually use any kind of butter or other spread, but you sure could. Then assemble your sammich with a hard-fried egg, bacon or ham, and cheese of your choice. I had one of these in a little restaurant in Waikiki, and I just loved them!

it's slightly sweet, right, like Portuguese bread? I think the Cubano sandwiches (from maybe a year ago in CL?) called for that kind of bread, and boy howdy, they were good.

Found it! It's the Medianoche Grilled Cheese Sandwiches in the March 07 issue.
