Fran’s Bread Pudding
This is my mothers-in-law bread pudding recipe. I have modified the recipe by using lightly toasted brioche bread. I usually serve this with a bourbon caramel sauce however the last time I made a light cinnamon ice cream then topped it with the bourbon caramel sauce. It was absolutely scrumptious.
Yield: 9 Pieces
Cost: 10.00
Equipment
- 1 8" x 8" Glass dish
Materials
- 6 Buns Brioche Variation any type of dried out bread.
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1-½ Tbs Vanilla
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- ⅓ Tsp Salt
- 1-½ Cups Whole milk
- ½ Cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut brioche buns into 1" cubes and place on large sheet pan. Place into oven and cook for 4-8 minutes until very lightly browned. Remove from oven and turn them over and toast the second side the same. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 Degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Beat with electric mixer until well combined about 5 minutes.
- Add milk and cream and mix an additional 3 minutes.
- Spray glass pan with cooking spray and add browned brioche bread. Pour egg and milk mixture into the pan and make sure to push down bread until all of the pieces have become saturated. Let sit for around 8 minutes or until bread has soaked up most of the liquid. Sprinkle top with dusting of cinnamon and sugar.
- Place into oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a knife comes out mostly clean. Remove from oven let rest for 10 minutes. Serve with your choice of sauce. (I like to use Torani's Bourbon caramel sauce.)
