Instructions
Creating this amazing Brown Butter Toffee Bread Pudding is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar.
2. Prepare Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed stale bread and toffee bits. Set aside.
3. Brown Butter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir continuously until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the brown butter into the egg mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.
6. Combine Bread and Custard: Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the liquid.
7. Transfer to Dish: Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 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 allow it to cool for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
10. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle additional toffee bits on top for added crunch and sweetness before serving.
