Ingredients
For the Custard Base
- 2 Eggs large, room temperature
- 2 cup Milk whole milk recommended
- 4 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 4 slices Bread stale bread works best; can use challah or brioche, white
For the Caramelized Sugar & Blueberry Topping
- 2 tbsp Butter unsalted
- 2 tbsp Sugar granulated, for caramelization
- 1 cup Blueberries fresh or frozen
- A few drops Food Coloring optional, for visual appeal
Instructions
Prepare the Custard
- Whisk together eggs, milk, 4 teaspoons sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until well combined.
- Cut the white bread into 1-inch cubes and gently stir them into the custard mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- Let the bread soak in the custard for at least 15 minutes, or until the bread is fully saturated.
Create the Caramelized Sugar Base
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is melted and turns a light amber color. Be careful not to burn it.
Assemble and Bake
- Pour the caramelized sugar into a greased baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches). Carefully pour the bread pudding mixture over the caramelized sugar.
- Dot the top with blueberries and sprinkle with a few drops of food coloring, if desired.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve
- Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, use stale bread. The slightly dry texture absorbs the custard better.
- Don't over-bake the bread pudding. It should be set but still slightly moist in the center.
- Feel free to experiment with other berries or fruit, such as raspberries, strawberries, or peaches.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
