Bread Pudding
Bread pudding has been around for centuries. Way back when, it was considered a poor mans pudding. They would make it by using up their stale bread which is exactly what I did! Bread Pudding can be eaten with or without the sauce on top. We ate it right out of the oven while it was still hot and it tasted absolutely delicious!
Ingredients for bread pudding.
Ingredients for sauce.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the cream until hot but not boiling.
Pour the melted butter into the cream.
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.
Beat with a mixer on medium speed for one minute.
Slowly whisk mixture into the cream until completely combined.
Spray a 2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
Place the bread into the bottom of the casserole dish.
Sprinkle the bread with raisins, optional.
Slowly pour the cream mixture on top of the bread.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes or until set.
To make the sauce, combine all of the ingredients, bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 3-4 minutes stirring constantly.
Let sit for five minutes then pour over the warm bread pudding.
Serve warm.

Looks good! I make a similar version using the cinnamon raisin bread. Would like to try yours using that nice brioche bread from Aldi. Bread pudding gets everyone in my family who is diabetic in trouble with their #’s. 😞 They just love it so much they don’t care for one day.

Love Bread Pudding. There’s so many versions of it – way back when I used to work as a cook in a retirement village it was one of the staples that I used to make weekly in one form or another. I’ve also made it at home for guests, with a good dash of whiskey in it. It’s 6.30 in the morning, and reading your post has me salivating….
