This is the only bread pudding I have ever made but it is extremely tasty! I love the comice pears but if you cannot find any at your local grocery store you can substitute with 3 Bosc pears since they are smaller. And if you can get your hands on Wolfermans English Muffins by all means get them. it only takes one 4 pack to make this recipe because they are so much bigger than regular english muffins. Ingredients:
6 cinnamon raisin english muffin |
2 comice pears, pealed and diced (royal riviera) |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
3 1/2 cups whole milk |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
8 large egg yolks |
2 large eggs |
10 ounces caramel sauce |
Directions:
1. Preheat Oven to 275 Degrees.
2. Cube English muffins into 1” pieces and layer evenly on a baking sheet. Place baking sheet in broiler to toast (remove from broiler when lightly toasted).
3. In a large mixing bowl combine milk, eggs, egg yolks, and sugar. Once all ingredients are well incorporated fold in the pears. Finally add bread pieces allowing them to soak up milk mixture.
4. Pour melted butter into bottom of a 9x9” pan, making sure in coats the bottom. Spoon bread mixture into the pan making sure to leave excess liquid in the bowl (to be used for sauce).
5. Place pan in oven and allow to bake for 45 minute or until bread pudding has set and browned.
6. For Caramel Cream Sauce:.
7. In a heavy sauce pan combine the jar of Caramel sauce and the remaining milk mixture from the pudding . Warm over low/medium heat until well combined and warmed. (Don’t bring to a rolling boil, simmering is ok).
8. Pour Warm sauce over bread pudding and serve either warm or chilled.
9. *for an extra twist you can also add dried berries (Blueberries/Raspberries) to the bread mixture for extra complexity and flavor.
