Extra Creamy Bread Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Put the brioche into a food processor and blitz to fine breadcrumbs. Set aside.
• Stud the onion with the cloves and put in a saucepan with the milk, bay, peppercorns, thyme and garlic. Bring to the boil, then quickly remove from the heat and set aside for 30 mins-1 hr to infuse. Strain and return the liquid to the pan.
• Add the breadcrumbs and butter to the milk and simmer for 5 mins, stirring continuously until thickened and creamy. Stir through the cream and finely grate in a generous amount of nutmeg, then season. Make up to three days in advance and keep chilled in a covered bowl. Reheat on the hob or for 3 mins, or covered in the microwave .

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a pan, add the onions and bay leaves, then gently fry with the lid on for 10 mins until soft, but not coloured.
• Add milk and cloves, then simmer gently, uncovered, for 30 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Remove bay and cloves, then tip everything into a processor and blitz with two-thirds of the bread until smooth. Chill for up to two days. To serve, tip the cream into a pan, add the sauce, then stir until mixed. Tear in the remaining bread. Add a little milk if necessary to thin the consistency. Season and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk 3 eggs, white sugar, 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of butter, and 3 cups of whole milk together, and gently stir in the bread cubes and raisins. Lightly spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and set in the middle, 50 to 55 minutes; cover the dish with foil after 30 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Let the pudding stand for 10 minutes before serving.
• For vanilla sauce, whisk 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, the flour, a pinch of cinnamon, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 1/4 cups of whole milk,and salt together in a heavy saucepan until smooth. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour sauce over warm bread pudding, or serve on the side in a bowl.
