BACON BREAD PUDDING



Bacon Bread Pudding image

Provided by Ayesha Curry

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 6 appetizer or 12 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 slices thick-cut bacon
4 ounces breakfast sausage, casing removed
4 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One small loaf brioche or challah (about 14 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
1 cup shredded Cheddar
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped scallion

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the bacon, closely spaced, on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, flipping halfway through, until the fat is rendered and the bacon is lightly browned but not at all crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, add the sausage to a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Drain alongside the bacon.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Beat the eggs and half-and-half in a large bowl. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of black pepper. Fold in the bread cubes and the cooked sausage and let soak for 5 minutes.
  • In a 12-cup muffin tin, line each cup with a slice of the bacon, making a ring so the ends overlap. Divide the bread mixture among the cups, using a tablespoon to keep it neat. Sprinkle the tops with half of the Cheddar, followed by the red pepper and scallion and then the rest of the Cheddar.
  • Bake until puffed and golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 20 minutes. Remove the bread puddings from the muffin tin with a fork. Serve hot or warm.

WHITE CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD PUDDING



White Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding image

Just .... OH .... MY .... WORD. Did we really have to go here?? Recipe is from the cooking blog Meemo's Kitchen.

Provided by Pinay0618

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces white chocolate, melted
1 loaf banana bread, cubed in about 1-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease and 8-inch square cake pan.
  • Place the milk and 1/2 cup of the cream in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Be careful not to let it boil over. Place the eggs, egg yolks, 1/2 cup of the sugar, salt, and vanilla in a bowl and gradually add the milk mixture, whisking all the while. Add the melted chocolate and mix until it is fully incorporated.
  • Place the bread cubes in the prepared pan and pour the custard over it, pressing down to dunk them. Let rest at least 15 minutes and up to an hour for the bread to absorb the custard.
  • Pour the remaining 1/2 cup cream over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and transfer to the oven. Bake until the pudding is firm and a knife inserted comes out clean, about 1 hour.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with caramel sauce, a dollop of sweetened whip cream or ice cream, and sliced bananas.

Tips:

  • To ensure the bacon is evenly cooked and crispy, cook it in a single layer in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
  • Use stale bread cubes for a heartier bread pudding. Stale bread absorbs the custard better than fresh bread, resulting in a more flavorful and cohesive pudding.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk in the custard. You can also add a touch of vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Don't overmix the custard. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense bread pudding. Stir just until the eggs and milk are well combined.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath to prevent the top from becoming too brown. A water bath also helps to create a more evenly cooked pudding.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

White chocolate bacon bread pudding is a unique and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It combines the flavors of sweet and salty in a creamy and decadent bread pudding. The bacon adds a smoky and savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the white chocolate. This bread pudding is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
