Easy Bread Pudding For 2 Recipes

CARAMEL BREAD PUDDING FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter 2 ovenproof 6-ounce tea or coffee cups. Tear a loosely packed 1/2 cup of the croissant pieces into slightly smaller pieces, and toss them with the melted butter in a small bowl; set aside.
• Whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the half-and-half and vanilla. Stir in the remaining 1-inch croissant pieces and the caramels, and let the mixture sit, folding occasionally, for about 15 minutes. Don't worry if the mixture seems too wet; the excess moisture will be absorbed as the pudding bakes.
• Divide the soaked bread mixture between the prepared cups. Top each with half the buttered croissant pieces, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the remaining sugar. Bake until the bread pudding puffs above the rim of the cups and is set, about 30 minutes. Let cool a few minutes (the pudding will sink), and serve warm.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the bread cubes into a large mixing bowl.
• In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder and egg. Pour the liquid mixture on top of the bread, then add the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Gently stir and make sure all the bread is covered with the liquid.
• Butter two 16-ounce oven-safe ramekins. Add 1 tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs to each and tap them all around to coat the insides completely with crumbs. Evenly divide the bread pudding mixture between the ramekins and top with more chocolate chips and marshmallows, if desired. Place the ramekins on a large baking sheet to help catch anything if it overflows.
• Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes. If the marshmallows start to turn too brown during the baking process, you can lightly cover with foil.
• Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before eating. Be careful-the middle is still really hot!
