1933 Cheese Pudding Recipe - Old Cookbook Show - Glen And Friends Cooking

[@CZPanthyr]

I love your Sunday Morning Old Cookbook Show. More importantly, it has given my autistic 14 year old grandson many recipes that he wants to try. Five years ago, when I got custody of him, he was a McDonald's Only eater. That has changed dramatically over the last 5 years and he's even learning to cook, inspired by the things on this show.

[@sirilucksana]

Hey Glen and Julie - I LOVE the old cookbook show! Please never stop doing it!!

[@sus1221]

Ooh, Egg Casserole! (aka Strata). My Midwestern American family makes this often for brunch. We usually add ham or sausage, a little bit of flour, and let it soak overnight in the fridge. Also cube the bread, don't both removing the crusts, and just use melted butter poured over the layers before adding the custard.

[@jrrife2191]

We do the same thing! We make it as a holiday breakfast. Fix the night before, bake in the AM and everyone can eat at their leisure. Mom used velveeta chunks instead of shredded cheese.

[@MrWalksindarkness]

this is what I was going to say, this is just strata with no ham or sausage or vegetables

[@naedatanner8832]

@@jrrife2191 It was a Christmas morning dish bc my mom could prepare it the night before. 🇨🇦💖✌

[@KingCatsTube]

This would also be good with bacon and onions added to it.

[@connie8298]

I often make almost this exact recipe as a Sunday night supper in fall/winter. I use cheddar cheese, and substitute a portion of the milk with a flavorful beer to give a Welsh rarebit flavor. I also add either cayenne or hot sauce. Leftovers warm nicely for breakfast.

[@fredfleming261]

winner winner cheese dinner👍👍👍

[@BrLambert]

I was so surprised to see it come out of the oven so puffed up. You could bump it up so many different ways. It would be good with soup.......the possibilities are endless

[@wandaarganbright4056]

I've been making this for years. I sometimes add pre-cooked bacon pieces or cooked crumbled breakfast sausage. It's a great breakfast dish.

[@jacquespoulemer3577]

Greg, Jules, and fellow fans of good-horsekeeping. I would have buttered the crusts and layered them on the bottom and served the top during the tasting. I too love the crusts. I used to bake bread just to have a crunchy crust to enjoy with butter. In the 1970s I had a goodhousekeeping international cookbook that was happily used for decades. Jim Oaxaca

[@FattyPasta]

This looks exactly like a dish my mom used to make for breakfast to feed a crowd on holiday mornings, she added ham in it as well.

[@wmschooley1234]

As a child of the 1950's L now know where both my grandmothers and my mom got this recipe. This was a staple Sunday morning breakfast. And Good Housekeeping books were in EVERYONE'S kitchen. Respectfully WS

[@lauracaruso2547]

I make this for holiday breakfast, but know it as strata. I add either ham, sausage, or a combination.

[@tonyboloni64]

This is a great recipe to use up leftovers. Soft, steamed cabbage, cut into squares along with diced ham, are delicious additions.

[@johnmcguire651]

Would be interesting to reimagine this as a Monte Cristo brunch bake

[@moniquemosley2122]

I was thinking the same!

[@julieschneider5973]

Ooooooooh baby! 🤤

[@John-gm5mf]

Also built that in my head!

[@JerryB507]

Good idea. Crumbled hamburger, sausage or ham in the middle layer would work.

[@TamarLitvot]

I was thinking of how you could make a sweet version of this - no cheddar cheese but would ricotta maybe work?

[@kathrynklein4824]

I looked in my Mom’s old Good Housekeeping cookbook (late 1950s) & found recipe called Cheese Strata which is about the same. Only difference is some minced onion & dash of cayenne. I’m sure I’ve made it too. I also appreciate Glen’s old depression era recipes.

[@lzrdlps]

I agree Glen leave the crust on! I could see an Italian version with garlic bread, with mozzarella some Italian sausage, a few dollops of marinara sauce in the middle, with marinara served on the side as well.

[@petervanderwaart1138]

Eight ounce packages of shredded cheese from the grocery store are usually marked as 2 cups, so 4 ounces per shredded cup is pretty safe. My step-mother made a similar dish that was basically cheese sandwiches covered in custard. She took it to carry-in breakfasts for various organizations.

[@lh824]

I'm 2 years late to this demonstration but couldn't resist pitching in the idea of using a flavored (onion, rosemary, dill, etc) bread in lieu of a standard white loaf. Perfect base recipe for a springboard to countless combinations. Thanks from one of your southern neighbors for this pudding (=USA Strata) recipe!

[@vaultgirl145]

This dish is my family's traditional Christmas morning breakfast. My Great Grandmother had a copy of the same cookbook you 've used. And the recipe has been passed down from generation to generation. We have changed the recipe a tiny bit over the years. Instead of the shredded American cheese we use the American cheese slices and let it set in the fridge over night to really allow the custard to fully soak into the bread. And we always serve it with raspberry jam.

[@missadixon3771]

epic win on today's recipe. Cheap! Uses up stuff in the fridge! Flexible! We will be making this. Thank you.

[@LukeEdward]

Woo-Hoo! SUNDAY MORNING OLD COOKBOOK SHOW!!

[@JerryB507]

You know it's a winner when Jules steps back and takes bites between comments. I have about a quart of milk that's on the verge of souring, so now I know what to make with it. Cheers.

[@321southtube]

Looks good. I enjoy your show because I love the two spectrums of making fancy meals with the finest ingredients as well as raiding the pantry and making something off the cuff. Thanks again for another wonderful video.

[@dvillebenny1445]

Great recipe to teach kids to cook and eat their food.

[@robertwaselovich9205]

I made this recipe after watching the video. I added some crumbled, cooked breakfast sausage in the middle layer and made it for breakfast. it was a huge hit with the family.

[@essaboselin5252]

When you started mixing the custard, I immediately thought of adding mustard and/or horseradish to the mix. So glad to see the mustard in there. The pickled jalapenos sound like a great addition.

[@Your.Uncle.AngMoh]

A nice supper dish on a winter's evening.

[@martitasez]

I saw this and immediately recognized it!We've been making a very similar recipe since the 1970's or 80's. My mother acquired it from her supervisor. With some slight variations. We buttered the dish, buttered both sides of the bread which was not fresh or cut in pieces, also more cheese and it was supposed to soak overnight. We called it Betty's egg 'souffle'. I love it in the morning with hot sauce

[@andyoli75]

He really enjoyed this one. If it wasn't for captions, I wouldn't have known what he said at 6:23.

[@OehlJim]

As a child in the '50s and '60s, meals were commonly from the Good Housekeeping Cookbook.

[@jandavis1523]

Add some breakfast sausage & carmelized onions and you have a classic US breakfast casserole. Looks delicious!

[@peregrine1970]

That Tomato Rarebit looks like perfect comfort food. A nice alternative to toasted cheese and tomato soup.

[@astroworfcraig9164]

I'm going to try this with some flax seed bread. Ketolicious!

[@figmo397]

My mother used to make something similar to this for brunch. It was called "Cheese Strata" and I'd described it as the love child of bread pudding and quiche.

[@ronc9743]

A simple dish with lots of possibilities to expand it and take it in just about any direction.

[@genericcharacter9319]

Some onions mixed in with the cheese and black pepper would put this one over the top for me. Looks amazing Glen, thanks for sharing.

[@fimcclelland3171]

Made this tonight after watching the video last night....... it's, quite simply, amazing! Julie's reaction to it sealed the deal. I have to agree with her - it's seriously cheesy and just the best kind of comfort food! I have absolutely no doubt this will appear again on the menu at 'Casa McC' very, very soon. Thanks for sharing this recipe. x

[@Siobhan146]

I like that it's all ingredients that I have around the house.

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

I like that it is lightly seasoned. I prefer my food that way.

[@ambsquared]

Looks a lot like a breakfast dish my mother-in-law makes. Twelve slices of white bread buttered. Put six butter side down in a rectangular casserole dish. Chopped ham and cheese layered on top. Then last 6 slices of bread butter side up. Pour egg and milk mixture over the top. Can’t remember the amount, but probably 6 eggs and at least 3 cups milk. It should fill up the pan. Let it soak overnight. Bake at 350 until top is brown. Serve it up by either half slice or full slices. Looks kind of like a Monte Cristo sandwich.

[@susanthompson6053]

It reminds me of a savoury bread and butter pudding. 😋Sue from England

[@Ottawa411]

I'm lazy and I hate waste. I would never get rid of the crusts. I should point my daughter towards this dish as she loves breakfast cooking. Thanks for another great recipe video.

[@KiraRagged]

2 minutes in and i think i recognize this recipe as something i used to make out of the Joy of Cooking called "Cheese casserole" if i'm right I absolutely looooved this when I was pregnant and getting tons of bread, eggs, and cheese on WIC that i needed to use up. Edit: upon watching fully it definitely is that. Great to see you guys liked it as much as I did.. I might have to make this again sometime!

[@aarong-s4954]

After months of watching your channel today was the first day I actually made the cheese pudding. I used a seeded loaf and cheddar cheese and decided to add some chorizo too. I think it ended up working pretty well

[@lisacraze1]

Glen, I love it when you are surprised by how good something is-- but you didn't do the little quiet "Glen Dance", so I know you didn't love it as much as a few previous recipes. But, it looks yummy!

[@kittymorris8133]

THANK YOU for the sensory/texture warning!

[@NWHomesteader]

Watching you slice bread with your meat slicer right behind you.. That’s what I use - works amazingly well! 👍 looks delicious! Bacon? Onion? Very versatile!

[@glennwiebe5128]

Love the recipe! Reminds me of grandma's kitchen. I noticed your cap right away. Living in Wpg, I love/hate the Avro history, particularly re the Arrow. Hey, we're Canucks, we're smart and talented, not to mention handy. Keep your stick on the ice!

[@jamesgooden7729]

I literally made this dish for over 6 years at my last job. Almost everyday!!! The place is known for it. They call it cheese soufflé. It’s a you’ll love it or you hate it type of dish.

[@janeteholmes]

I have a Good Housekeeping Cookbook from 1955 that I inherited from my mother. It has a recipe for Baked Cheese Pudding and also Cheese Strata, both of which look very similar to this.

[@axolet]

This looks amazing. What if we added some spam cubes on top? Crispy spam with a cheesy interior 🤤

[@mikewilson9315]

Don't usually keep my spam. I guess I could print it out, but crispy paper & cheese doesn't have a lot of appeal.

[@Lyndaloulindin]

This is also what they call a Strata or Stratta. I started making these years ago after Christine Cushing made an awesome one on her cooking show on Food Network back in the day. However, normally the bread is cubed. I really like this way of buttered slices. I will have to give it a try 👍🏻

[@deborahjones3086]

I once described this dish as the love child of a bread pudding and a toasted Cheese sandwich.

[@nathanross5527]

I wasn't expecting that to look as good as it did. I'd definitely try it, though. Also, toward the end, when you talked about using the ingredients available during the Depression, "You had some stale bread, some eggs, some cheese..." it kind of had the same rhythm as the Facts of Life theme song.

[@Colinupham]

I love your Sunday show! Great job!

[@RonOhio]

My first thought is a hearty multi grain bread. Then I got to thinking about shredded potatoes and minced onion. I think that may be carrying "Make it your own" to extremes though.

[@julieschneider5973]

Haha! But yeah, it does sound really good to me too!

[@Xondar11223344]

Hey Glen, I started using your egg cracking method, and my wife watched me do it one day. Now she uses your egg cracking method!

[@walterco7701]

I recently did some work in my kitchen which required moving things. I found some old cooking pamphlets. Not really books, very thin. Most are from a sugar beet company. One is from 1928, but most are from the 50s. Pretty cool.

[@JerryB507]

Have you tried any of the recipes? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@walterco7701]

@@JerryB507 Not yet! Most of them seem to require a lot more skill than I feel like I have.

[@mnu1104]

You two are so wholesome god bless

[@naedatanner8832]

I find using an electric knife for homemade, fresh bread works great!! Love from Bobcaygeon!💖✌🇨🇦

[@DeliaLee8]

My Mom would save the crusts of bread until she had enough to fill a casserole dish. By then they were stale which I think made them suck up the milk and egg mixture. Everything else was the same as this recipe. I loved it! (This was back in the 60's and 70's)

[@EastSider48215]

I know this recipe as cheese strata, suitable for lunch, dinner, or brunch. My grandmother called it cheese fondue, but she was born in 1880, and I learned to make it in the 1970’s, when fondue referred to Swiss fondue.

[@luminousmoon86]

Think I might try this one. I think it'd be good with a little cooked breakfast sausage in it. I also like your jalapenos idea.

[@bierbrauer11]

That looks like something I could get behind… yum!

[@LindaM2005]

I would saute some mushrooms in garlic and add them into the bread layers. That looks great.

[@sukotto1001]

Those rarebit recipes both look good, too!

[@tetchedistress]

Wow, I can't wait to make this! Thank You!!

[@l.c.6282]

My mother-in-law makes something like this for brunch, but she adds ham slices and let’s it soak overnight in the egg mix. She tops it with crushed corn flakes before baking.

[@bobloblaw2342]

gosh dang this looks good! my mom has this cookbook

[@lusnorthernhome3410]

I make bread and bought a bread slicer it’s awesome nice even slices and if using an electric knife it works even better.

[@herbwitch5681]

This may very well be what’s for dinner tonight

[@herbwitch5681]

It came out pretty well. I cut the recipe in half as the cookbook suggested and used stale whole grain bread and medium cheddar. It’s a tad bland for modern tastes, but not bad. I can see a little breakfast sausage or sautéed onions livening it up.

[@Mcgufa]

i love this channel. i don't really cook a whole much myself but you guys are always entertaining and it's always interesting hearing about food history or comercial cooking

[@RivetGardener]

That sounded and looked delicious. Thanks for sharing!

[@Stephenrsm7600]

Looks really good!!!

[@JimsKitschKitchen]

It looks like a winner for sure- love how nicely it raised!!!!

[@angelasieg5099]

Looks really good will have to try this one

[@John-gm5mf]

Audio on this one is funky Glen!

[@kathleenposton2334]

I think that I might season that like I would Welsh Rarebit, which my family likes on the spicey side. Looks like I'll have to try it!

[@zaynamoore]

Looks great! I'd add some chopped tomatoes and spinach.

[@nickbriggs9620]

Gonna have to try this one!

[@hopecox]

Someone in the comments may have said this but this method works really good with stale bread too! Or croutons. This is essentially how I make breakfast casserole but then of course I'll mix in cooked bacon or sausage or a can of Rotel or something for flavoring. It's definitely a versatile recipe.

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

It sounds very comforting.

[@beaver6d9]

That looks awesome

[@joeljenkins7092]

In college, I worked in a retirement home kitchen that frequently made this recipe. They called it cheese strata.

[@willthor6639]

the welsh rarebit recipe looks good

[@tarvaefalco]

Mum used to do this in the 80s Adding some finely chopped onion or some thinly sliced tomato on top goes well or even better a little bit of chopped ham or bacon

[@kathyhester3066]

Could be used as a side to stretch out the meat. I too would leave the crusts on & I would use a more rustic bread.

[@CharlottePrattWilson]

That looks really good! Y’all make me smile.

[@janicev.9671]

Reminds me of Christmas morning wifesaver. Just add ham, some onions, peppers…..

[@cydrych]

Ad some ham and it is exactly what I call a strata. I used the crusts to fill in any gaps between the bread slices. It adds texture.

[@NRajah]

A great base for all kinds of additions. Bacon, chives, shallots, mushroom, sweetcorn etc. But I'm sure it's great plain too.

[@d37fan]

I’m seeing some ham and switching out the cheese to Swiss. Looks tasty!!

[@andrewaway]

Yum.

[@Grayald]

Looks great. Very moddable as well. Could easily play around with the type of cheese. Throw in some ham or bacon. Substitute some of the milk for something else. Definitely going to try this.

[@daneekaplan4284]

I also see it as a riff on mac and cheese.

[@practicallyprepared9389]

In hard times, I would add onions and maybe something green like kale to bump up the nutritional value.

[@moniquemosley2122]

Glenn, that dish looks good to me! Would be delicious during Fall/Winter. Good base recipe for add in's like bacon.

[@pancakes1983]

God you’re making me hungry here and it’s almost 12 midnight!

[@bigDbigDbigD]

hi Glen. I like that you followed the recipe an cut off the crusts. It shows respect to the author. At least follow the recipe the first time.

[@Ashtu.]

Nice 👍

[@tricityladytn]

This would be awesome with crumbled bacon on top and a pinch of cayenne in the egg mixture!
