Anyone have any special recipes for Bread Pudding?

I love to take all the leftover Panetone, from the holidays, and let it get very stale (I dry it in the oven on VERY low) and I use this instead of regular bread. I don't add much sugar to the egg mix so that it isn't too sweet. The candied fruit in the Panetone adds that!

Served with a little cream, whiped cream or Marscapone....delicious!

Bread pudding?

My variation is to use two teaspoons of vanilla, and brown sugar instead of white. Gives it a nice butterscotch influenced taste. Also, try evaporated milk instead of regular.

brown sugar instead of white

That sounds yummy!! I will try to remember that for the next time.

What does the evaporated milk do for it?

Impending Potluck!

We have a neighborhood potluck thing tomorrow, and I am baking a cake for it as I type this (Nothing to get excited about - just a Duncan Hines yellow sheet cake) and I am going to make one of my favorite casseroles tomorrow before the shindig. It's an Eggplant and Minced Clam casserole, which sounds gross, but is really quite good.

I always go at these things trying to be Bree Van de Kamp, but usually end up as Hyacinth Bucket (sans the Royal Doulton, of course) We'll see how it turns out. If nothing else, the serving dishes will be fabulous.

Rich-

The evaporated milk does several things for bread pudding. First, it does lend a sense of richness, even with the evaporated skim milk. Secondly, it adds to the caramel overtone. Also, it makes it a possibility if there are eggs but no fresh milk in the fridge.

Evaporated Milk.....

Here is a great bread pudding recipe from the Mr. Food cookbook.....He uses few ingredients and his food is tasty...

Georgia Bread Pudding

I cup sugar
1 can(12 oz.) evaporated milk
2 cups whole milk
4 egg yolks
5-1/3 tablespoons(1/3 cup) butter, melted
¼ cup raisins
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
9 slices white bread with crusts, cut into cubes

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In large bowl thoroughly mix the sugar, evaporated milk and whole milk and egg yolks. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, raisins and spices, mix well. Add the bread cubes and toss to saturate bread. Pour mixture into a greased 8” square baking dish. Bake @ 25 minutes until pudding s lightly browned and set. Let cool before cutting.(The pudding will get firmer and be easier to cut when cool). Cut into squares.
