Bread Pudding Recipe
My first bite of bread pudding was in New Orleans at Commander’s Palace. When the warm plate hit the table, I could immediately smell the spices and hints of oaky whisky in the sticky glaze. Let’s just say they set the bar pretty high, but I’m happy to report that I closely recreated the experience at home.
The good news is that the recipe includes simple ingredients; bread, eggs, cream, sugar, and spices. You will need to prepare and bake the custard base with care to deliver a smooth and creamy texture. I use a water bath to gently cook the egg filling to nail the right consistency. Don’t worry; the technique is easy, and I’ll show you my step-by-step method.
What is Bread Pudding?
Bread pudding typically uses day-old bread and turns it into a warm baked custard dessert. The bread soaks in an egg and cream mixture with spices or other mix-ins like fruit or chocolate. It gently bakes to yield a velvety, souffle-like texture. You can make it in a large casserole pan or small ramekins for individual portions to serve multiple guests.
