Breakfast Berry Bread Pudding Recipes

VERY BERRY BREAD PUDDING RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
• Butter an 8 x 11.5 inch (2 qt) baking dish and coat it with the 1/4 cup sugar
• Trimming the berries: Rinse/clean the berries. Trim the strawberries and if they are large, cut them in half or quarters. You want all the berries to be somewhat similar in size in size.
• In a medium bowl mix the berries. Pour the berry liquor over the berries and mix gently. Let the berries sit on the counter for about ten minutes. *See notes
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and vanilla. Add the heavy cream and milk and whisk until well blended.
• Place the bread cubes in a single layer inside the prepared baking dish (use a little more than half the amount of bread for this layer).
• Pour half of the custard mixture over the bread. Press lightly so the bread absorbs the custard.
• Spoon half of the berry mixture (and their juices, if any) over the custard soaked bread.
• Top the berries with the remaining bread cubes and pour the rest of the custard over it. Press lightly. Place the remaining berries on top.
• Bake for about 55 minutes to 1 hour or until set in the center. The top should look a bit golden.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the bread pudding set a bit so it is easier to serve.Serve with whipped cream and garnish with extra berries (optional).

BERRY BREAD PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° F. Prepare eight individual soufflé cups (1-cup capacity) with cooking spray. In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the berries to distribute evenly. In another bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk or electric mixer on low speed until frothy. Add the sugar and beat until well blended. Add the half and half, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg and continue beating on low speed until well blended. Fill soufflé cups with bread and berry mixture, mounding it a bit on top. Pour egg mixture over the bread and berries, filling evenly to the rim.
• Place the soufflé cups in large ovenproof baking dish and pour boiling water into the dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the soufflé cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick placed in the center of the puddings comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool. These can be made one day ahead of the shower; simply refrigerate overnight and serve at room temperature. Just before serving, dust each top with powdered sugar.
