Bread Pudding with Cinnamon, Maple Syrup and Nuts

<<

Bread Pudding is a delicious brunch recipe that will satisfy your craving for something sweet and rich. It resembles oven baked French Toast because the bread absorbs the moist egg mixture resulting in a rich pudding. It is worth noting that this recipe may include any or all of your favorite treats: chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, cranberries, blueberries - the possiblities! Brunch is not the only occasion that calls for this recipe -- it can be prepared and reheated for breakfast, lunch or as a light meal.

Ingredients:

  • 8 cups challah, cut into cubes, crust removed
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ¾ cup cream or half and half
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pecan pieces, optional
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips, optional
Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease a square or oblong baking dish.

Place bread in a large bowl and set aside. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs and slowly add milk. Beat well and add cream or half and half. Gradually stir in maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla.

Pour the egg mixture over the cubes of bread in the larger bowl. Make sure that all of the bread pieces are moistened. If not, stir in a bit more cream or milk.

Add any optional ingredients: for example, add 1/2 cup of pecans and 3/4 cup chocolate chips to the mixture, distributing them evenly.

Refrigerate bread mixture for one hour.

Transfer bread mixture into greased baking dish. Bake for 50 minutes on middle rack of oven. When pudding is golden brown and the centre is firm to the touch, remove from oven.

Note: If the centre is not baked, loosely cover bread pudding with piece of aluminum foil and bake for an extra 5-10 minutes.
