FRENCH TOAST BREAD PUDDING WITH SPICED PEARS



French Toast Bread Pudding with Spiced Pears image

Instead of making French toast slice by slice, assemble it bread pudding-style the night before. When you wake up, slide the dish in a cold oven, turn it on (so the dish heats up without cracking), take your shower, dress for skiing, whatever. When you're done, breakfast will be ready.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 loaf (about 1 pound) cinnamon bread, challah, brioche, or any soft, egg-enriched bread
6 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter
2 firm-ripe Anjou or Comice pears, cored and cut into chunks
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Freshly grated nutmeg
Maple syrup

Steps:

  • The night before, make the French toast: smear the butter over the bottom and sides of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish or other shallow 2-quart baking dish. Tear the bread into small pieces and scatter in the dish.
  • In a large measuring cup or small bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light. Add the milk and vanilla and whisk well. Pour over the bread evenly. Tamp down the bread with a spoon or spatula to submerge each piece in egg mixture. Cover with foil, gently pressing down so the foil is right on the surface of the mixture. Refrigerate overnight.
  • The next morning, remove the dish and slide it into a cold oven with the foil on. Turn oven on to 350 degrees F. After 25 minutes, gently pull off and discard the foil. Continue to bake until pudding is puffed and golden brown, about 20 more minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare the spiced pears: melt butter in a wide frying pan (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat then add the pears. Stir until pears are coated well with butter, then sprinkle sugar, cinnamon, and a good pinch of fresh nutmeg; continue to cook about 3 minutes until pears begin to soften. Pour in 1/4 cup of maple syrup; cook until bubbly then remove from heat.
  • To serve, spoon bread pudding onto plates and top with spiced pears. Pass additional maple syrup at the table.

PEAR-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for serving
2 pears, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
12 large eggs
2 cups heavy cream, half-and-half, or milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 loaf challah or other soft, thick bread, cut into 1-inch slices
Pure maple syrup, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Mash together 5 tablespoons of the butter with the chopped pears and chill.
  • In a large flat dish, whisk together the eggs, cream, and vanilla.
  • In the side of each bread slice, make a deep slice into the center to form a pocket. Stuff a spoonful of pear butter into each piece. Place the stuffed bread into the egg mixture and let soak for a few minutes. Turn each piece and continue soaking until the bread has absorbed enough of the egg mixture to be completely moistened but not falling apart.
  • Heat a large skillet and swirl in 1 tablespoon of the butter. Working in batches, cook the soaked bread until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed. Serve warm with more butter and the maple syrup.

Categories     Breakfast Eggs

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
2 large ripe pears, cored and sliced
2 large eggs
⅓ cup milk
1 tablespoon honey
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
4 slices bread
¼ cup toasted sliced almonds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Stir 3 tablespoons honey, the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ginger together in a small bowl; spread evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the sliced pears in 2 rows.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is set and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • To serve, cut into squares and use a thin, flat spatula to lift each portion out of the pan and turn pear side up. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and drizzle with any syrup left in the baking dish.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect French toast, use thick slices of bread, about 1 inch thick. This will help the bread to soak up the egg mixture and cook evenly.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to cook the French toast. This will help to prevent the bread from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help the bread to cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once. Flipping it too often will make the bread tough.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Made-over French toast with spiced pears is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. The combination of sweet pears and warm spices makes this dish irresistible. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover bread. So next time you're looking for a new breakfast recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
