Bread Pudding

This recipe for bread pudding is more of a cross between bread pudding, egg bake and french toast. I always think of bread pudding as a dessert, but I think this recipe would also make a great breakfast bake.

Ingredients

• 4 Eggs
• 1 Egg Yolk
• 1 1/2 Cups Heavy Cream
• 3/4 Cup Milk
• 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 2 Teaspoons Vanilla
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg
• Cinnamon 
• 5-6 Cups Cubed Stale Bread (I use homemade bread and I like to dry it like the bread for stuffing)

Brown Sugar Topping

• 2 Tablespoon Butter
• 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla

Cube the stale bread and place in a well greased 9" x 9" baking pan. 

In a bowl add eggs, yolk, cream, milk, vanilla, sugar, salt and nutmeg. Whisk until we combined. 

Pour the egg mixture over the bread. Use a spoon or plastic spatula to stir/press the bread until the bread is well coated. 

Sprinkle cinnamon over the top. 

Cook in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 - 45 minutes or until entire pan is set. 

While the pudding is baking, you can make the topping.

In a small sauce pan, add the butter over medium heat. Once butter is melted add brown sugar and mix together. 

When the brown sugar mixture is beginning to bubble, add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Stir and set aside. 

Once the bread pudding is set remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes.

You can drizzle some of the topping on before cutting, or just add it when serving. 

Cut and serve warm with topping over the top. 

Enjoy!
