Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 loaf day-old French baguette
5 eggs
3 ½ cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup butter
1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 ½ cups shelled pecan halves

Steps:

  • Cut the bread into cubes and let sit out about an hour to dry out a bit. Using day-old bread is perfect; the drier the bread cubes, the more yumminess they soak up!
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the eggs until they are combined. Add the milk, sugar, and vanilla and stir until combined.
  • Place the bread cubes in a baking pan and pour the milk and egg mixture over them.
  • Melt butter in a small microwave-proof bowl. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Stir in the pecans.
  • Pour this mixture over the bread and egg mixture, and gently fold. Don't mix it in thoroughly, just fold so the yummy pecan mixture forms into clumps throughout the bread pudding.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is slightly brown. The center will still be a little jiggly.
  • Allow to cool at least 20 minutes before serving. The egg mixture will continue to cook, and the bread will soak up more yumminess.

BLUEBERRY PECAN CRUNCH CAKE



Blueberry Pecan Crunch Cake image

Topped with coarse Demerara sugar and chopped pecans, this might just be the crunchiest coffee cake you've ever made. It's also one of the easiest, as it's quickly whisked together in just one bowl. Soft, juicy blueberries dot the cinnamon-scented batter, making jammy pockets in the tender crumb. It will keep at room temperature for up to three days, though the topping does lose a little texture the longer it sits. But this cake is so good, its keeping qualities may be beside the point.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups/337 grams sour cream
3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 stick), melted and cooled
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 cups/312 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups/200 grams blueberries
2/3 cup/85 grams chopped pecans (or walnuts or almonds)
2 tablespoons Demerara sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9-by-9-inch metal pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, butter, eggs, vanilla and salt until everything is well combined. Whisk in sugar. Add the dry ingredients in this order: baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon, whisking well in between additions. Then, whisk in the flour until just combined. Fold in blueberries.
  • Using a spatula, scrape the batter into the pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle with the nuts and Demerara sugar. Bake until the top is golden and puffed, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer the cake to a rack, and let it cool in the pan.

Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ¼ cups white sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 medium lemon, zested
3 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 (1 pound) loaf sourdough bread
4 tablespoons melted butter, divided
1 pound fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Vigorously whisk eggs, egg yolks, salt, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until mixture turns light and frothy, about 1 minute. Add vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest, milk, and cream; whisk to combine. Toss in bread slices and press down until they start to soften and are submerged. Let sit, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until custard has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter in the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Grab a few intact bread slices from the top of the bowl if possible and set aside. Transfer 1/2 of the remaining soaked bread into the prepared baking dish. Don't worry if it's falling apart, it should be; if not, break it up into pieces. Add blueberries and spread with your fingers to press them down into the bread. Add remaining bread pieces in an even layer, then top with the reserved slices. Pour any remaining custard batter over top and brush with remaining melted butter.
  • Transfer bread pudding onto a baking sheet and place in the center of the preheated oven. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 1 hour. Let sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

I won 2nd place in the Blueberry Cooking Contest with this recipe. It is always a hit. I just take bread that is about to need to be chucked and put it in a zip lock bag and freeze it until I have enough to make a pudding. I've thrown in donuts, biscuits, sliced bread, italian bread -it really doesn't matter as it turns out great every time

PECAN BREAD PUDDING



Pecan Bread Pudding image

Bread pudding has been a favorite of mine since I was a little girl. This is a variation I have learned to love.

Provided by AlaskaPam

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups half-and-half
1 1/2 cups brown sugar (divided)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup pecans (chopped)
4 cups bread cubes (any kind of firm bread)
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • 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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before adding them to the bread pudding.
  • Toasted pecans add a nice crunch and flavor to the bread pudding. If you don't have toasted pecans, you can toast them yourself by spreading them on a baking sheet and baking them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
  • Use a good quality bread for the bread pudding. A stale or dry bread will not absorb the custard as well and will result in a less flavorful bread pudding.
  • If you don't have a bread pudding dish, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just make sure that the dish is deep enough to hold all of the ingredients.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Blueberry Pecan Crunch Bread Pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet blueberries, crunchy pecans, and creamy custard is sure to please everyone at your table.
