Bread Pudding

Brown Butter Caramel

Almond Brittle

Serving

Method

Bread Pudding

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the French bread into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Custard

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine and Soak

    Add the bread cubes to the custard mixture and let them soak for about 15 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid.

  4. 4

    Add Peaches

    Gently fold in the caramelized peaches into the bread mixture.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set.

Brown Butter Caramel

  1. 6

    Brown the Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue to cook until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 7

    Make the Caramel

    Add the brown sugar and water to the browned butter. Stir until dissolved and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream and a pinch of salt.

Almond Brittle

  1. 8

    Prepare the Brittle

    In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the mixture turns a deep amber color.

  2. 9

    Add Almonds

    Quickly stir in the sliced almonds and pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow to cool completely before breaking into pieces.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Scoop warm bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with warm brown butter caramel, and top with pieces of almond brittle. Add a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on the side.
