Ingredients
Bread Pudding
- 8 cups churro (about 5 Costco churros broken up to fit in a cup)
- 2 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
Bourbon Vanilla Sauce
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 ounce bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove to taste
Instructions
Bread Pudding
- Preheat oven at 350°F
- In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, sugar, milk, and nutmeg, and whisk to combine
- Tear bread into 1 inch pieces and soak in mixture
- Grease your baking dish with butter or oil
- Pour bread and any left over mixture into baking dish
- Press down on the bread so it all get soaked in the mixture (be careful to not press too hard on delicate breads)
- Bake for 1 hour
Bourbon Vanilla Sauce
- In a medium sauce-pan, add all ingredients on medium low
- Cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly until all sugar is dissolved
- Pour on top bread pudding and enjoy
Notes
- The key with the churros is to let them sit for a day or two so they become stale. Stale bread works best for a bread pudding because it has dehydrated and de-gelatinized, making it tougher to stand up to the soaking process.
- If you don't have churros, you can use sourdough, donuts, challah, or just plain white bread. The only real change in the recipe and directions would be not to compress or squash the more delicate breads.
