Blueberry Pecan Bread Pudding With Amaretto Sauce image

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

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups bread
1 quart milk
1/2 cup sugar
6 eggs, beaten
2 cups blueberries, fresh
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup Amaretto
1 egg yolk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Grease a 13 x 9 glass baking dish.
  • Break bread into large pieces and place in a large bowl.
  • Pour in the milk and stir to combine. Let sit 10 minutes.
  • Add remaining pudding ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Pour into baking dish and bake 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and then make the sauce by melting butter and sugar together in a small sauce pan over low heat.
  • Off heat, whisk in egg yolk and Amaretto. Heat 2 more minutes then pour over the bread pudding. You may have more sauce than you need depending on your dish.
  • Serve hot or cold. I like it best hot.

Not a fan of the amaretto sauce, but the bread pudding itself was very good.

Followed the recipe to a T and the bread pudding was a bit too dry. Not sure what went wrong.

Great recipe! But I think next time I'll try using a different type of bread.

I substituted almond milk for the regular milk and it came out just as delicious.
