Sunnys Brunchy Bread Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the egg, cinnamon sugar and salt in a large bowl until the cinnamon is distributed and the sugar less gritty, then whisk in the orange juice and almond milk.
• Add the bread cubes to the custard and toss. Let soak for 5 minutes, folding gently occasionally to maintain the cubes' integrity but still allow them to soak up the liquid. (Not all of it may be absorbed.) Coat the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Add the strawberries to the bread and fold, then immediately pour into the prepared dish.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the almonds, butter, brown sugar and flour to a medium bowl and mix with a fork until crumbly; set aside. Bake the bread pudding 40 minutes, then scatter the almond mixture over the top and continue to bake until the center is set and not squishy and the almonds are toasted, about 10 minutes more. Serve warm with maple syrup, if using.

Steps:

• For the rolls: Bake the cinnamon rolls according to the package directions (reserve the glaze). When they are cool enough to handle, cut each into fourths. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of a deep 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, add the fruit cocktail, milk, pecans, walnuts, vanilla extract and eggs and mix together. Add the cinnamon roll pieces and stir. Let rest for a few minutes to allow the liquid to soak in.
• Pour the cinnamon roll mixture into the prepared pan. Bake until golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the glaze and topping: Put the milk in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Add the espresso powder and stir until the granules dissolve. Add the reserve glaze from the cinnamon rolls and stir until combined.
• Drizzle the bread pudding with the glaze and add a dusting of cinnamon sugar. Serve with a pour of coffee over the top.

Steps:

• Grease square pan, 9x9x2 inches. Spread bread evenly in pan. Sprinkle with raisins.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, the cinnamon and salt, using fork. Stir in milk; pour over bread. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
• Heat oven to 325°F. Bake uncovered 50 to 60 minutes or until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, drain raspberries, reserving 1/2 cup juice. In 2-quart saucepan, mix juice and 1 cup granulated sugar. Heat to boiling; boil 5 minutes. Stir in raspberries and cranberries; reduce heat. Simmer about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries are tender but do not burst. Serve with warm bread pudding.

Steps:

• For the bread pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the bottom and sides of the baking dish with the butter.
• In a large bowl, add the croissant and bread chunks along with the chocolate chips sprinkled over the top. Toss gently and pour into the prepared dish making sure all the chocolate chips don't settle on the bottom.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, chocolate syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and eggs. Pour the chocolate custard over the bread in the baking dish and press the bread down into the custard to soak it up. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Then press down a bit again.
• For the topping: In a medium bowl, toss the butter with the flour to coat all sides of the butter. Then add the pecans, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Mix together with your hands to get the butter to blend into all the ingredients. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the baking dish.
• Bake uncovered until the edges are golden brown and the center springs back a bit when touched, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow it to cool and settle for about 30 minutes and then make pretty squares, or just dig in right away. Serve with a dollop of Bourbon Whipped Cream. Can also be served cold.
• In a large bowl, whisk heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the bourbon and sugar and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed from the bowl. Refrigerate and serve cold.

Steps:

• Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lay the bacon side by side on the pan. Cook the bacon for 18 to 20 minutes, or until crispy.
• While the bacon cooks, prepare the other ingredients. Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Grate the cheese, cube the bread and chop the chives, then add them all to the egg mixture. Crumble the bacon into the bowl with the other ingredients and gently fold to combine. Pour into the baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Uncover the bread pudding and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, honey, vanilla, orange zest, and salt. Set aside.
• Slice the brioche loaf into 6 (1-inch) thick pieces. Lay half brioche slices flat in a 9 by 14 by 2-inch oval baking dish. Spread the raisins on top of the brioche slices, and place the remaining slices on top. Make sure that the raisins are between the layers of brioche or they will burn while baking. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and allow to soak for 15 minutes, pressing down gently.
• Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the sausage and brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the onions and sausage from the pan using a slotted spoon. Transfer to a shallow bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir in the bread, cooked sausage mixture and cheese. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Let the dish sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake, still covered with foil, for about 50 minutes. Remove the foil and return the baking pan to the oven. Bake to brown the top of the bread pudding, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm milk, butter, vanilla, sugar and salt. Continue cooking just until butter melts; cool. Meanwhile, butter a 4-to-6-cup baking dish and fill it with cubed bread.
• Add eggs to cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour mixture over bread. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and edges of bread have browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.
