Vanilla Bean Bread Pudding With Butterscotch Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Space two racks evenly in the oven.
• Cut five 3/4-inch-thick slices of brioche and place them in one layer on a sheet pan. Trim some of the crusts from the remaining brioche and cut in 1-inch dice. Spread out on a second sheet pan. Put both pans in the oven for 5 minutes to lightly toast the bread.
• Meanwhile, for the custard, whisk together the whole eggs, yolks, half-and-half, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla and vanilla seeds in a large bowl and set aside. Line a 3-quart baking dish with the whole slices of brioche, cutting them to fit in one layer. Distribute the diced brioche on top. Pour on the custard and press lightly so all the bread is soaked with custard. Set aside for 10 minutes.
• Place the dish in a roasting pan large enough to allow the baking dish to sit flat. Pour about 1 inch of the hottest tap water into the roasting pan, being sure not to get any water into the custard. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, tenting the foil so it doesn't touch the pudding. Cut a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the custard is set and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm with the melted ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a large bowl, combine bread, milk, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla and butterscotch chips; mixture should be the consistency of oatmeal. Pour into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven 1 hour, until nearly set. (It should have a "thigh wiggle" or wiggle as much as a well endowed thigh.) Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk 3 eggs, white sugar, 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of butter, and 3 cups of whole milk together, and gently stir in the bread cubes and raisins. Lightly spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and set in the middle, 50 to 55 minutes; cover the dish with foil after 30 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Let the pudding stand for 10 minutes before serving.
• For vanilla sauce, whisk 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, the flour, a pinch of cinnamon, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 1/4 cups of whole milk,and salt together in a heavy saucepan until smooth. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour sauce over warm bread pudding, or serve on the side in a bowl.

Steps:

• 1. Place the beans in a food processor. Purée until smooth along with 1/2 cup of the milk.
• 2. Add eggs, sugars, apple butter, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg; process using several on/off turns until combined. Gradually add remaining evaporated milk and process until combined.
• 3. Spoon mixture into six 1/2 cup (125 mL) ramekins.
• 4. Place ramekins in a shallow baking dish. Pour hot water to reach halfway up the sides.
• 5. Place in a preheated 350⁰F (180⁰C) oven for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
• 6. To make the butterscotch sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan. Add brown sugar and corn syrup and cook gently until sugar dissolves. Stir in whipping cream and bring to a boil. Let cool slightly before serving.
• 7. Serve ramekins drizzled with butterscotch sauce and top each with 1 teaspoons (5 mL) chopped pecans.

Steps:

• PREPARATION: Bread Pudding: Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter in an 8-inch square baking dish, or other 2-quart baking dish; set aside. With a sharp knife or scissors, carefully split vanilla beans. Scrape inside pulp onto a plate, then mix the scrapings with the 1 cup sugar. In large mixing bowl combine the vanilla sugar, eggs, and vanilla; beat slowly just to blend. Blend in milk. Add the torn bread and stir gently to combine. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake at 350° for40 to 50 minutes, or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool for about 30 minutes before serving. Butterscotch Sauce: Combine brown sugar with flour in saucepan; blend well. Stir in boiling water and salt. Bring to a simmer and continue to simmer, stirring, for about 7 minutes. If too thick add a little more water. Remove from heat; stir in butter, cream, and vanilla. For a pretty presentation, put the butterscotch sauce in a sauce squeeze bottle (or an old-fashioned diner-style condiment squeeze bottle) and make a decorative criss-crossing on a dessert plate then set bread pudding on the plate and top with more sauce.
