Description
A great dish for any breakfast or brunch – also great if you got some old brioche or white bread and don’t want to throw it: simple and easy bread pudding. So good!
Ingredients
10 oz. (300g) stale sweet braided loaf or brioche, cut into small cubes
2 cups (500ml) milk or plant-based milk
1/4 cup (50g) sugar
2 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 pinch of salt
2 large eggs
2 tbsp. sliced almonds
some coarse brown sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a casserole dish or pie dish lightly. Cut the sweet braided loaf or brioche into small cubes and add to the baking dish. Set aside.
2. Add the milk (or plant-based milk), sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt to a small saucepan and heat up over medium-low heat until the butter has just melted. Let cool down a bit, then mix in the eggs.
3. Pour the milk-egg-mixture over the bread and gently mix, so every piece is covered with the liquid. Press down a bit so nothing is sticking out too much, sprinkle with the sliced almonds and brown sugar and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the custard has set, and the bread got some color. Take out of the oven and serve warm with some vanilla custard, some berries or whipped cream (optional).
Notes
Happy Baking!
