JAM BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Remove the crust from the loaf of bread and slice into 1/2-inch thick slices. Reserve 5 slices for the top. Cut the remaining bread into cubes.
• In a saucepan, heat the half-and-half, cream, salt, and vanilla bean over medium heat, stirring occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat. Set aside to infuse for 10 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together. Whisking constantly, gradually add the hot cream mixture. Strain into a large bowl to smooth the mixture and remove the vanilla bean. Take 1/4 of the custard, pour it into a pan with walls, and soak the slices as if for French toast. Pour the remaining custard over the cubes and let soak 30 minutes, gently turning the bread over once. Fill a 2-quart flameproof souffle dish halfway with soaked bread cubes. Spoon a layer of marmalade or jam onto the soaked cubes, then top off with more bread cubes. Spoon another layer of marmalade or jam over the cubes and top with the soaked slices, overlapping them decoratively. If there is any remaining custard, pour it onto the slices to let it soak in. Let soak in the refrigerator another 30 minutes (or overnight).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the baking dish in a hot water bath. Bake until just set and very light golden brown on top, about 35 to 40 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and place under the broiler 1 to 2 minutes caramelize slightly. Serve warm or chilled.

RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, egg and yolk mixture, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Make sure the mixture is well combined.
• Add half of the brioche to the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle evenly with half of the raspberries and chocolate. Top with the remaining brioche, raspberries, and chocolate.
• Pour the cream mixture over the brioche mixture. Press down gently, cover it with plastic wrap, and let stand for 30 minutes. You want the bread to soak up that luscious custard.
• Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Remove the plastic wrap and set the baking dish in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough boiling water to get about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Carefully place the pan in the oven and bake until the custard is set (even in the very center), and the bread has puffed, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool slightly and remove the baking dish from the water. Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled.

JAM AND BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Butter a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange half of the brioche along the bottom of the dish, and cut or tear the slices to fit. Spread 3/4 cup of the jam on top and cover with the remaining bread.
• Whisk the eggs, sugar, 2 1/2 cups of the milk, and the vanilla together; pour over the bread. Press to soak and brush the top with 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 15 minutes longer or until the pudding is set. Remove from the oven.
• Preheat the broiler. In a bowl, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon of milk with the confectioners' sugar. Stir in the remaining melted butter and jam until the mixture is smooth. Spread the mixture over the top of the pudding, place under the broiler, and broil until the glaze is golden. Serve hot or warm, garnished with fresh strawberries.
