Directions
In small saute pan, saute onion and garlic in butter over medium heat 20 minutes or until lightly caramelized.
Place half the bagette cubes in ungreased 13-by-9-inch pan. Top with half the blue cheese and all the onion mixture.
Top with remaining bread and cheese.
In medium bowl, whisk together whole eggs, egg yolks, cream, salt and pepper. Pour over pudding, being careful to soak all parts of pudding. Loosely tent with foil. Let soak 30 minutes at room temperature. If soaking longer, refrigerate.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Bake pudding in preheated oven 40 minutes. At this point pudding will be loosely set but not brown. Uncover and cook another 10 to 15 minutes or un- til firm and golden brown. Remove from heat and let set 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Makes 12 to 16 servings.
