Creme Brulee Bread Pudding Recipes

CREME BRULEE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush or spread the butter over the bottom and sides of a 2-quart flame-proof baking dish.
• Fill the prepared baking dish with the cubed bread. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread, turning the cubes gently with a spatula so the bread is coated. Let sit for 10 minutes so the bread absorbs the custard mixture.
• Press down gently with a spatula to distribute the custard and bread evenly in the dish. Bake for until the pudding is set in the center but still very moist and the top is lightly browned, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with the smoked paprika in a small bowl. When the pudding is set, remove it from the oven. Preheat the broiler. Top the pudding with an even layer of the potato chips and sprinkle with the sugar and paprika mixture. Broil until the top is toasted and deeply golden. Cool for 10 minutes; serve warm.

CREME BRULEE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease 6 (4 oz.) ramekins.
• In saucepan, combine milk and whipping cream. Cut vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape vanilla bean seeds into saucepan; add vanilla beans and salt. Bring to a low boil.
• In bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, cinnamon, rice, and 1/2 cup sugar.
• Remove vanilla beans from cream mixture. Slowly pour hot cream mixture in a thin stream into the egg/rice mixture, whisking constantly.
• Pour or ladle into prepared ramekins; place ramekins on a large baking sheet and place on oven rack; carefully pour enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until edges are set and centers are still slightly jiggly when shaken, approximately 25 minutes.
• Remove ramekins from water bath and place on rack to cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Cover; chill at least 3 hours. When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator and sprinkle remaining sugar evenly over tops. Broil 5-6 inches from heat until sugar evenly melts and becomes a caramel color.
• Remove from oven and serve immediately. (Sugar may also be browned using a professional culinary torch.)
