Sliced corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese, all combined with bread and a creamy sauce, create a savory Reuben pudding everyone loves.
Savory Bread Pudding
Have you heard of bread pudding? It’s usually a dessert made with stale bread that is soaked in a custard-like mixture and then baked.
The sauce then caramelizes and the bread remains soft. If you like savory bread pudding, then you might also like my savory keto pumpkin and sausage bread pudding.
It has hints of sweetness, but is cooked with sausage, white wine, and chicken broth.
Reuben Puddingc
Before we get to the recipe, let’s revisit what a Reuben sandwich is. A traditional Reuben sandwich is a grilled sandwich that is filled with corned beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing.
Stories say that a chef from Omaha, Nebraska, created the first one, and it stuck!
I took the idea of baking stale bread in a sauce and made a savory version! This one tastes just like a classic Reuben sandwich.
I took the ingredients in a Reuben sandwich and used them in a savory bread pudding. Chopped corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese are smothered in a creamy sauce (that tastes like Russian dressing).
It’s mixed with some keto bread cubes and then baked. You can enjoy it as a lunch or a side dish with dinner.
Keto Savory Pudding
This keto savory pudding tastes incredible because of the keto-friendly homemade Russian dressing. It’s a combination of Thousand Island dressing, Dijon mustard, and heavy whipping cream.
If you want to make it spicier, add some red pepper flakes.
Make sure you use all low-carb ingredients as you make the bread pudding. The bread should be low-carb and the Thousand Island Dressing needs to have no added sugar.
What To Eat With Pudding
This keto-friendly bread pudding has that classic Reuben taste layered into a bread pudding the whole family can enjoy! Serve with Asparagus and or with this Keto Cheesy Garlic Bread!
If you want to use the bread pudding as a side dish, then make one of my entrees for the main course. It will taste delicious with Easy Keto Beef and Cabbage Casserole.
Or make a Keto Lasagna In A Bowl for lots of cheese. And if you’re still a kid at heart, whip up a bow3l of Easy Low Carb Cauliflower Mac and Cheese.
The bread pudding will also taste good with a bowl of keto Olive Garden salad and some keto ranch popcorn chicken.
How To Store Cooked Meat
You can store leftovers, but I suggest eating them within a day or two so that the bread doesn’t become soggy. Store the leftover keto-friendly bread pudding in an airtight container.
Keep it in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Then, reheat it in the oven or air fryer. If you reheat it in the microwave, the bread will soften so much that it won’t be as tasty.
