Special Diets:
Ingredients
- Canola spray oil
- 1 (1.0-pound) package silken tofu
- 3 cups unsweetened almondmilk
- 1/3 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 cups cubed Health Starts Here® whole grain bread
- 1/2 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives and thyme
- 2 (6.0-ounce) packages smoky tempeh strips, cut or crumbled into chunks
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and sliced diagonally, divided
Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with oil.
In a blender, purée tofu, almondmilk, flaxseeds, salt and pepper until smooth.
In the prepared dish, toss together bread, herbs, tempeh, and all but 3/4 cup of the asparagus.
Pour almondmilk mixture over the top and press down gently to submerge all of bread.
Scatter reserved asparagus over the top and bake until golden brown and just firm in the middle, 50 to 55 minutes.
Bread pudding can be assembled the night before and baked the following morning.
