Toffee-Pear Crisp Bread Pudding image

My son loves pear crisp, but one night I was making bread pudding. He asked if I could make both. I compromised by combining two desserts into this one dish. It's absolutely fantastic! -Kurt Wait, Redwood City, California

The pears in my bread pudding were not very flavorful. I would recommend using a different type of pear.

The bread pudding was a little dry. I would recommend adding more milk or cream to the custard mixture.

This dish was a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the toffee sauce.

I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream to my bread pudding and it was heavenly! The cold ice cream paired perfectly with the warm bread pudding.

The pears in this recipe were so tender and flavorful. I used Bosc pears, but I think any type of pear would work well.

I love that this recipe uses up leftover bread. It's a great way to reduce food waste and create a delicious dessert at the same time.

This toffee pear crisp bread pudding was a hit with my family! The combination of sweet pears, crunchy pecans, and buttery bread was irresistible. The toffee sauce added a delicious finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.
