Love bread pudding and pecan pie? Now you can enjoy the flavors of pecan pie in a creamy and delicious bread pudding that is super easy to make. And, easy to clean up with this pan! Serve while slightly warm with some fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
