Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ¼ cups white sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 medium lemon, zested
3 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 (1 pound) loaf sourdough bread
4 tablespoons melted butter, divided
1 pound fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Vigorously whisk eggs, egg yolks, salt, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until mixture turns light and frothy, about 1 minute. Add vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest, milk, and cream; whisk to combine. Toss in bread slices and press down until they start to soften and are submerged. Let sit, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until custard has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter in the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Grab a few intact bread slices from the top of the bowl if possible and set aside. Transfer 1/2 of the remaining soaked bread into the prepared baking dish. Don't worry if it's falling apart, it should be; if not, break it up into pieces. Add blueberries and spread with your fingers to press them down into the bread. Add remaining bread pieces in an even layer, then top with the reserved slices. Pour any remaining custard batter over top and brush with remaining melted butter.
  • Transfer bread pudding onto a baking sheet and place in the center of the preheated oven. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 1 hour. Let sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

This is a cross between my two favorite breakfast foods: french toast and blueberry muffins! This recipe has less sugar than a lot of other bread puddings I have seen which I love about it, and wheat bread works fine too. You can add the optional cinnamon sugar topping for an extra sugary crunch before baking, or it is great with cinnamon syrup or vanilla sauce over the top!

BLUEBERRY BREAD PUDDING WITH CUSTARD SAUCE



Blueberry Bread Pudding With Custard Sauce image

Blueberries are so yummy, especially in this dessert! Cook time includes time for makeing sauce. The sweet dessert known as Bread pudding (not be confused with bread and butter pudding) is rather more popular in the UK than in the US, but it is hardly unknown in America, especially in the south. Bread Pudding has been around a long time. It's been around in England since the 13th century. It has its origins as a source of food for the poorer elements of society, and was in fact called "Poor Man's Pudding".

Time 1h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
4 eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons lemon juice
8 cups French bread cubes (1/2-inch)
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 dash salt
1 cup milk, scalded
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind

Steps:

  • Pudding: Melt butter in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish; set aside.
  • Combine next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; beat well.
  • Add bread cubes, and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Fold in blueberries and lemon rind; spoon into prepared dish.
  • Bake at 350* for 35 minutes or until lightly browned and puffed.
  • Serve warm with Custard Sauce.

  • Reduce heat to low; cook custard over hot water, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes or until mixture thickens.
  • Cool slightly.
  • Add vanilla and lemon rind.
  • Yield: 1 1/3 cups.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries. Just thaw them before using.
  • Use a good quality bread for the pudding. A sturdy bread, like French bread or sourdough, will hold up well in the pudding.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pudding tough.
  • Bake the pudding until it is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center of the pudding should come out clean.
  • Serve the pudding warm or at room temperature. You can also chill the pudding and serve it cold.

Conclusion:

Blueberry bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight meal. With its creamy custard, sweet blueberries, and crispy bread topping, this pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
