SIMPLE BREAD PUDDING



Simple Bread Pudding image

This recipe is proof-positive that leftover bread can easily be converted to dessert without much work. There's room for customization here: consider adding fresh or dried fruit or a combination of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom. It makes a great brunch dish, served with fresh fruit compote. Or add a handful of chocolate chips before baking for a decidedly more decadent outcome.

Eli, from Scottsdale, AZ, says winning our America's Best Kid Cooks Contest takes him one step closer to his dream of becoming a chef and owning his own restaurant. The 7-year-old loves making breakfast, so creating a bacon, egg and cheese bread pudding was a no-brainer. "We make this on a Sunday afternoon and bake it Monday morning so my brother and I can have a filling breakfast during the school week," he says.

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 links chicken sausage
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole-fat Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
Zest and juice of 1 orange
3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 slices bread, toasted and cut on the diagonal
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

BREAKFAST BREAD PUDDING



Breakfast Bread Pudding image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Butter, for greasing
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, minced
1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled
10 large eggs
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 loaf day-old brioche or country white bread, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes (about 12 cups)
2 cups shredded Cheddar (about 6 ounces)

Steps:

  • Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the sausage and brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the onions and sausage from the pan using a slotted spoon. Transfer to a shallow bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir in the bread, cooked sausage mixture and cheese. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Let the dish sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake, still covered with foil, for about 50 minutes. Remove the foil and return the baking pan to the oven. Bake to brown the top of the bread pudding, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread will absorb more of the custard mixture and result in a richer, more flavorful bread pudding.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread pudding tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of bread: Using a variety of bread, such as white, wheat, and rye, will give the bread pudding a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Add mix-ins: Adding mix-ins, such as raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips, will add flavor and interest to the bread pudding.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: Baking the bread pudding in a water bath will help to prevent it from drying out.

Conclusion:

Brunch bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and it can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious brunch bread pudding that will be a hit with your family and friends.
