directions

  • Grease an 8"x8" baking pan with 1 tablespoon of butter. In a large mixing bowl mixing bowl, beat the eggs and add the half and half, and 1 cup of the brown sugar. Stir in the salt and nutmeg. Add the bread cubes and 1/2 cup of the pecan, and allow to sit for 20-30 minutes until the bread is completely soaked with the custard.
  • Pour into the baking pan, sprinkle with the remaining pecans and brown sugar. Dot the top with 3 tablespoons butter broken into small pieces.
  • Bake in a pre-heated 350 F oven for 30-40 mins, or until set and golden brown on top.
  • This is great served warm with ice cream or a custard sauce. I like it cold for breakfast too!

  1. I loved this! the topping added a perfect crunch to the pudding. I had mine with ice cream, but a caramel sauce would have been nice too. Made for ZWT 9 for the Hot Pink Panthers.
     
  2. Excellent bread pudding. I loved the way the topping got kinda crunchy. I used 3 8" sub rolls that needed to be used. Made for ZWT9 and The Apron String Travelers.
     
  3. I love this recipe. Used Splenda brown and a good quality whole wheat bread. I'm very happy with the result. It came out semi-firm, firm enough to cut into squares when cooled but not dry and really solid. The pecans are a great flavor addition and I like the texture that they add as well. I'm glad that I made the full recipe. :D
