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
– ½ cup unsalted butter
– 4 large eggs
– 2 cups whole milk
– 1 cup heavy cream
– ¾ cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup toffee bits (plus extra for topping)
– Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)


Instructions

Creating Brown Butter Toffee Bread Pudding is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

2. Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. Prepare the Bread: Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. Pour the browned butter over the bread and toss gently to coat.

4. Mix the Custard: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the liquid.

6. Add Toffee Bits: Gently fold in the toffee bits, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the bread mixture.

7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle additional toffee bits on top for extra sweetness and crunch.

8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. Cool: Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for about 15-20 minutes before serving.

10. Dust with Powdered Sugar (optional): For an elegant touch, dust the top with powdered sugar just before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dessert effortlessly.
