Think of this as the lovechild of a savoury bread pudding, a pepperoni pizza and a pretzel. What a love triangle!

Ingredients
1/4 cup half and half cream
2 large eggs
5 cups hand-torn, day-old pretzels
1/2 cup thinly sliced good quality salami
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon finely grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded good quality mozzarella
1/4 cup pepperoncini peppers, seeds removed, patted dry and thinly sliced
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
Salt, to season
Directions
Preheat oven to 375℉
Whisk together cream and eggs.
Place pretzels, salami, one cup of parmesan cheese, peppers and half a cup of tomato sauce into a large mixing bowl. Pour in the egg mixture and stir well to combine. (Season with salt at this point if desired)
Place the mixture into a parchment-lined 9” x 5” loaf pan, top with remaining parmesan and bake until golden brown and bubbly, approximately 25 minutes.
Let cool slightly before serving.
If freezing, allow it to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag with as much air removed from it as possible.
You can also cut this pretzel bake into smaller portions and wrap, bag and freeze individually if desired. Enjoy!
