BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON PECAN SAUCE



Bread Pudding with Bourbon Pecan Sauce image

I found this recipe online, and then tweaked it a bit. Some by choice, some by accident and some due to necessary substitution. I wrote a poem (100% true) about the first time I made this. However it is too long to post here, so I'll put it in the comment section, in parts! No idea on the nutritional content. Suffice it to...

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

BOURBON PECAN SAUCE
1/2 c butter, melted (1 stick)
1 c sugar
1 egg
1/2 c water
1/2 c bourbon or moonshine
1/2 c pecans, in pieces, toasted
BREAD PUDDING
6-7 c rolls or french bread, at least 2 days old, i prefer egg rolls, torn into 1-inch square pieces
1 qt heavy cream
3 eggs, beaten
2 c sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 c golden raisins
1/2 c coconut
1/4 tsp allspice, ground
1/4 tsp cinnamon
butter for greasing dish/pan

Steps:

  • 1. Bourbon Pecan Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter; add sugar, water and egg, whisking to blend well.
  • 2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. (Do not allow to simmer, or it may curdle.)
  • 3. Whisk in moonshine or bourbon to taste. Remove from heat and add toasted pecans. Whisk before serving.
  • 4. The sauce should be soft, creamy, and smooth. I like the sauce warm but not hot.
  • 5. Bread Pudding: Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 6. Soak the bread in the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl. Stir with hands until well mixed and all the cream is absorbed. If you think the mixture looks too dry, add a few tablespoons more of the heavy cream or milk.
  • 7. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, and spices together. Gently stir into the bread mixture.
  • 8. Gently stir the raisins and coconut into the mixture.
  • 9. Grease bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch baking dish/pan with butter. Pour in the bread mix and bake at 350°F for 35-45 minutes, until set. The pudding is done when the edges start getting a bit brown and pull away from the edge of the pan. Can also make in individual ramekins.
  • 10. Serve with bourbon pecan sauce on the side; pour on to taste. Best fresh and eaten the day it is made.

PECAN CHICKEN WITH BOURBON SAUCE



Pecan Chicken With Bourbon Sauce image

This is a restaurant recipe that I modified slightly. The bourbon sauce is wonderful, either pooled beneath the chicken and/or drizzled over the top. This recipe makes a lot of sauce. You can save some of the extra sauce for use later or drizzle the sauce over your veggies! Great pecan taste and crunch. Make sure you adjust your heat, while cooking the chicken, so the pecan coating does not burn. Don't skip the green onion to sprinkle over the finished product, it is part of the whole taste sensation! This recipe works for a weekly night dinner or even for company. Enjoy!

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped (make sure the pieces are small)
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumb
2 eggs
1 tablespoon water
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup dark brown sugar (make sure you use dark)
2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
1/2 cup sliced green onion

Steps:

  • Mix together the pecans and bread crumbs, on a plate.
  • Beat the eggs and water in a pie plate.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to thin them. This helps so you won't have to cook the coated chicken breasts too long. You want to avoid burning the pecan coating.
  • Heat the 2 T. butter and 1 T. olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Dip the chicken breasts, both sides, into the eggs.
  • Press the chicken breasts, both sides, into the pecan and bread crumb mixture, coating them evenly.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat (adjust as needed) until nicely browned and cooked through. Depending on the thickness and size of your chicken breasts, it could be anywhere from 5 to 10 minute per side.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together the dijon mustard, dark brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce and worcestershire sauce until smooth.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then remove from the burner and whisk in the 3/4 cups of unsalted butter, a few pieces at a time. Do not return to the heat.
  • Arrange the chicken breasts on a large serving platter and pour some of the sauce over. Sprinkle with green onions. Or you can plate them individually.
  • You may choose to pool the sauce or drizzle or serve the sauce on the side. The choice is yours!

PAPPADEAUX'S SWEET POTATO PECAN PIE WITH BOURBON SAUCE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Pappadeaux's Sweet Potato Pecan Pie With Bourbon Sauce Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-170456

Number Of Ingredients 27

PECAN PIE FILLING:
1 1/4 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes - (2 med)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
1/4 cup heavy cream (whipping)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon allspice
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons softened butter
1 single crust pastry - (9" to 10") unbaked
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups dark corn syrup
3 eggs lightly beaten
3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
BOURBON SAUCE:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream (whipping)
1 cup milk
1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix
3 tablespoons Bourbon, brandy or rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine mashed sweet potatoes, sugars, egg, cream, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and butter in an electric mixing bowl and beat at medium-low speed until smooth, do not overmix. Prepare Pecan Pie Filling: Combine sugar, syrup, eggs, butter, vanilla, salt and cinnamon in an electric mixing bowl and beat on low speed until syrup is opaque, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in pecans, mix well. To assemble pie, spoon sweet potato filling into the pastry-lined pie pan. Fill shell evenly to the top with with pecan filling. Bake 1 1/2 hours or until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean. Store pie at room temperature for 24 hours. Prepare Bourbon Sauce: Combine cream and milk in a large mixing bowl. Slowly whip in pudding mix. Add bourbon and continue whipping. Add vanilla and whip until mixture is well blended to sauce consistency (should not be as firm as pudding, but should not be runny). Sauce should be made about one hour before use; it will thicken as it sits. Serve pie slices with Bourbon Sauce on top or to the side. This recipe yields 8 servings.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality bourbon. The better the bourbon, the better the sauce will be. Look for a bourbon that is at least 80 proof and has a smooth, mellow flavor.
  • Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in the oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Use real butter. Real butter adds a richness and depth of flavor to the sauce that margarine or oil cannot match.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked until it is slightly thickened and bubbly, but it should not be allowed to boil. Overcooking the sauce will make it too thick and gloopy.
  • Serve the sauce warm. Bourbon pecan sauce is best served warm, over your favorite dishes such as chicken, pork, or waffles.

Conclusion:

Bourbon pecan sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a sweet and savory sauce to serve over chicken or pork, or a rich and decadent sauce to drizzle over waffles or pancakes, bourbon pecan sauce is sure to please.
