Instructions
Creating Brown Butter Toffee Bread Pudding can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
3. Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and eggs until smooth. Slowly add the cooled brown butter, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
5. Add Bread: Gently fold in the cubed bread, ensuring each piece is coated in the mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
6. Add Toffee Bits: Fold in the toffee bits for a sweet surprise throughout the pudding.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
10. Serve: Drizzle with additional toffee sauce if desired and serve warm.
