Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 1 lb. day-old loaf French or crusty bread, cubed
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup half and half or heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and spray a 8 x 8 inch baking pan with non-stick baking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine milk, half and half, eggs, white sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and whisk vigorously to combine. 
  • Add cubed bread to a large bowl and pour milk mixture over top. Let sit for about 10 minutes. 
  • In a small bowl, combine butter, light brown sugar, and chopped pecans and stir with a fork until combined. 
  • Pour half of the bread mixture into the prepared pan and top with half of the pecan topping. 
  • Pour remaining bread mixture over top and top with the rest of the pecan topping. 
  • Gently press down into the pan and place 8 x 8 inch pan onto a baking sheet. 
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes, until bread pudding is set as desired. 
  • Let cool at least 30 minutes in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

Baking for 45 minutes will result in a more soft and moist bread pudding, as baking for 55 minutes will result in a more set, crisp bread pudding.
