Brown Butter Toffee Bread Pudding: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 19 minute

Ingredients

– 1 loaf of day-old brioche or challah bread (cubed)
– 1 cup unsalted butter (to brown)
– 4 large eggs
– 2 cups whole milk
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup packed brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup toffee bits (or chopped toffee candies)
– Optional: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to make your Brown Butter Toffee Bread Pudding:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking until it turns a golden brown color and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Bread: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread and toffee bits. Pour the slightly cooled brown butter over the bread and mix well to coat.
4. Make the Custard: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the custard mixture over the bread, gently stirring to ensure all pieces are soaked. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the custard.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes before serving. This allows the pudding to set and makes it easier to slice.
