Steps:
- 1. Cut the crust off brioche. Cut brioche into 1-inch cubes.
- 2. Spread them in a shallow pan and set aside. Mix the remaining ingredients, using an immersion blender.
- 3. Strain the mixture and pour over the brioche, mixing well. Cover in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
- 4. Grease a square pan and lightly sprinkle the bottom with sugar. Place the brioche mixture into the pan in an even layer, about 1½ inches thick. Sprinkle the top with sugar. Bake in 350° oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.
- 5. SAUCE: In a 3-qt. saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it becomes light brown. Whisk the brown sugar, maple syrup and heavy cream into the butter and bring to a boil. Add the bacon and vanilla extract.
- 6. Using an immersion blender, mix sauce until bacon is in small pieces. Strain the sauce. To serve, cut the bread pudding into squares or rectangles.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Space two racks evenly in the oven.
- Cut five 3/4-inch-thick slices of brioche and place them in one layer on a sheet pan. Trim some of the crusts from the remaining brioche and cut in 1-inch dice. Spread out on a second sheet pan. Put both pans in the oven for 5 minutes to lightly toast the bread.
- Meanwhile, for the custard, whisk together the whole eggs, yolks, half-and-half, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla and vanilla seeds in a large bowl and set aside. Line a 3-quart baking dish with the whole slices of brioche, cutting them to fit in one layer. Distribute the diced brioche on top. Pour on the custard and press lightly so all the bread is soaked with custard. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Place the dish in a roasting pan large enough to allow the baking dish to sit flat. Pour about 1 inch of the hottest tap water into the roasting pan, being sure not to get any water into the custard. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, tenting the foil so it doesn't touch the pudding. Cut a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the custard is set and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm with the melted ice cream.

Line a 10-by-12-by-2-inch rectangular baking dish with the whole slices of brioche, cutting them to fit in one layer. Distribute the diced brioche on top. Pour on the custard and press lightly so all the bread is soaked with custard. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Fresh eggs and full-fat milk will create a richer custard, while good bread will provide a sturdy base for the pudding.
- Don't over-stir the custard. Stirring too much can cause the eggs to curdle.
- Bake the pudding until it is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center of the pudding should come out clean.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. This will allow the custard to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve the pudding with a drizzle of crème anglaise or whipped cream.
