Stormy Day Breakfast Bread Pudding

Submitted by karen

"This is a recipe that I clipped from the newspaper. I modified it by changing the topping. The original recipe called for 1 cup of low-fat granola, but I switched it to a topping like you would find on an apple crisp. Use any type of bread. I used 2 wheat & 2 egg hamburger buns from the freezer."

This was very good. Very good flavor and very moist. I had to cook it for an hour. The pears were good but a little weird. I think I may try something else next time like apples or apricots or something. That is the nice thing about this: almost any fruit will work.

This is gonna be my new bread pudding recipe. I doubled the recipe and baked in a 13 x 9" pan, I had to bake it for 90 minutes. I used soft bread cubes instead of dry and I also used peaches instead of pears. Thanks Karen

My family absolutely LOVED this! It tastes way more naughty than it actually is. Fantastic recipe.

I made this for an Easter breakfast at church. I only got a taste, but it was wonderful and I look forward to making it for my family. Thanks for sharing!

I have made a lot of unsuccessful bread puddings and this is my first really successful one. This is light, moist, crunchy and just the right amount of spice. I loved the idea of the pears, and will try other fruit in the future. Thanks for a recipe that can be a great breakfast or with vanilla ice cream a great finish to a dinner. Carole in Orlando
