Description
Brown Butter Toffee Bread Pudding is a rich and delicious dessert made with cubed bread, brown butter, and toffee bits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups of day-old bread, cubed (such as brioche or French bread)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (for browning)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toffee bits (such as Heath Bar bits)
- Optional: Whipped cream or ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it becomes golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. Pour the browned butter over the bread and toss to coat evenly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, milk, cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes. Add the toffee bits and gently fold until all bread is soaked. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes so the bread absorbs the liquid.
- Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- This dessert pairs well with whipped cream or ice cream.
