Brown Sugar Pecan Bread Pudding
For when you can't get enough bread
Ingredients
base
- 3/4 (ish) loaf of neglected or stale bread
- 2 cups milk whole
- 4 eggs beaten
- 2 tbs melted butter cooled
- ½ cup sugar
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup nutmeg
- 1½ tsp vanilla
topping
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 tbs milk
- 1½ tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- big squeeze lemon juice
- ¾ cup chopped pecan pieces
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- Cut bread into 1inch(ish) cubes
- Lightly grease the bottom of an 8x8 dish and fill to the top (a little over) with your bread cubes
- In a separate bowl, add together everything else for the base, mixing well
- Pour mixture over bread in 8x8 pan, allowing bread to soak up mixture. Pat pieces down, so they get fully soaked, and let sit for a few minutes.
- Once bread has soaked up the mixture, push down again, so that all pieces can be fully soaked by the liquid.
- Bake for about 50 minutes, covering with tin foil about 35-40 minutes in.
- While baking, heat all ingredients for the topping over low heat, until simmering.
- Once bread pudding base is done, pour topping over, and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
