Panera Bread Pudding

"From a Panera restaurant recipe card. It says "this all-time favorite is a great way to use leftover sourdough, French, Honey Wheat, or Cinnamon Raisin bread. Everyone loves it for dessert, but you might also enjoy serving bread pudding for brunch! I have made this and used craisins. You can use any dried chopped fruit. It's great."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. and butter a 2 quart baking dish.
  • Place the bread pieces in a large, shallow bowl and pour the milk over them, making sure that all the bread is moistened.
  • Allow this to sit for up to 1 hour (the longer you soak the bread, the more tender the pudding will be.)
  • Meanwhile, in another bowl, beat the eggs well, then add the sugar and beat again until well mixed.
  • Add nutmeg (and/or cinnamon) and vanilla and mix again.
  • Pour this mixture over the bread and milk mixture, then add the chopped dried fruit like raisins or craisins and toss well.
  • Pour the pudding into the baking dish, dot with butter and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until it is set in the middle and browned on top.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or pour half and half over each portion.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
