New Orleans Bread Pudding With Lemon Sauce image

I have saved this recipe from a 1983 magazine article highlighting the wonderful recipes from New Orleans. It is a little different take on an old familiar dessert.

Time 2h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons nutmeg
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 cups milk
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped and roasted
5 cups bread cubes, very stale French bread
1 lemon, cut in half
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs on high until extremely frothy, about 3 minutes (or for about 6 minutes with a metal whisk).
  • Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract and butter and beat on high speed until well blended.
  • Beat in the milk. Stir in the raisins and pecans.
  • Put the bread cubes in a greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the cubes and toss until the bread is soaked.
  • Let sit about 45 minutes, patting the bread down into the liquid occasionally.
  • Put in a 350* oven. Immediately lower the heat to 300* and bake 40 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425* and bake 15-20 minutes more, or until pudding is well browned and puffy.
  • To serve, put 1 1/2 Tbs lemon sauce in each dessert dish, then spoon in 1/2 cup bread pudding. Top with 1/4 cup whipped cream.
  • Lemon Sauce (makes about 3/4 cup).
  • Squeeze the juice from the lemon halves into a 1 qt saucepan; add the lemon rinds, water and sugar; bring to a boil.
  • Stir in the dissolved cornstarch and vanilla.
  • Cook 1 minute over high heat, stirring constantly.
  • Strain, squeezing the sauce from the lemon rind.

This recipe was a disaster! The bread pudding was dry and crumbly, and the lemon sauce was too runny.

Overall, I thought this bread pudding was just okay. I probably won't make it again.

The bread pudding was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

The lemon sauce was too tart for me. I think I'll use a different sauce next time.

This bread pudding is simply divine! The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the texture is so moist and fluffy. I especially love the lemon sauce - it's the perfect complement to the richness of the bread pudding.
