Bread Pudding Thanksgiving Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together the first 10 ingredients until blended. Gently stir in bread. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. or 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar; let stand until bread is softened, about 15 minutes. Bake until puffed and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes., Meanwhile, for sauce, melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar; stir until dissolved. Gradually stir in cream. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until thickened, 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add vanilla, sea salt and baking soda, stirring well. Serve sauce with warm bread pudding.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC). Lightly grease a 10-inch (25 cm) square baking dish.
• Preheat a 6-quart (5.7 L) pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery in the olive oil with a pinch of salt until onion is lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in the onion powder, sage, thyme, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and several dashes of pepper and turn off the heat.
• Put the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked vegetable mixture and toss to thoroughly coat. Pour in the vegetable broth, ½ cup (120 ml) at a time, mixing well after each addition. The bread should be moist but not soggy, so you may not need to add all the broth.
• Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool a bit before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the bread cubes on a sheet pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 minutes, until starting to brown. Stir in the leeks and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until the leeks are tender. Stir in the mushrooms, tarragon, sherry, 1 tablespoon salt and 11/2 teaspoons pepper and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until most of the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Off the heat, stir in the parsley.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, chicken stock and 1 cup of the Gruyere. Add the bread cubes and mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid. Stir well and pour into a 2 1/2-to-3-quart gratin dish (13 x 9 x 2 inches). Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Gruyere and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is browned and the custard is set. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart casserole or baking dish.
• Spread bread slices with butter, then use a sharp knife to cut each slice into 4 squares.
• Arrange 1/2 of the bread squares in the bottom of the prepared casserole. Sprinkle with raisins and 1/2 of the cinnamon. Cover with remaining bread and cinnamon.
• Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat just until a film forms over the top, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add sugar; stir until dissolved.
• Pour some of the hot milk into the beaten eggs, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and whisk until smooth and thoroughly combined. Stir in vanilla and pour mixture over the bread.
• Set the casserole in a pan and fill with 1 inch hot water. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Grease 9x9 pan with butter and preheat oven to 350 f.
• Mix in a mixer or beat thoroughly : milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt to form thin custard.
• Add and mix by hand the remaining ingredients (cube or tear the bread first) into the liquid custard.
• (I always eyeball this part, mixing the wet and dry -- usually I add the dry ingredients to a bowl, then pour the liquid until it covers a little more than half with liquid- enough that if you press down, the top parts get moist but not wet.).
• Press lightly to encourage bread to absorb custard. Let sit in refrigerator for 1/2 hour to 6 hours, depending on how stale the bread is.
• Pour into lightly buttered/greased 9x9 pan.
• Bake in oven for 1/2 - 1 hour or until golden brown on top but of bread pudding consistency inside.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm milk, butter, vanilla, sugar and salt. Continue cooking just until butter melts; cool. Meanwhile, butter a 4-to-6-cup baking dish and fill it with cubed bread.
• Add eggs to cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour mixture over bread. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and edges of bread have browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Scatter bread on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Place inside a cold oven with the light on for 8 hours to overnight. Remove from the oven.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan.
• Mix sugar, half-and-half, and eggs together in a large bowl. Mix in vanilla. Add bread cubes and let sit until liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in raisins. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Mix brown sugar and butter for topping together in a small bowl until crumbly. Sprinkle over the bread mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, 35 to 45 minutes.
• While the bread pudding is baking, prepare rum sauce: stir sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla together in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar melts. Add rum and stir until well combined.
• Remove bread pudding from the oven. Drizzle rum sauce over top and serve.
