Better late than never flashback...


Missed Flashback Friday with Suzy at Kitchen Bouquet yesterday, but that's ok, she did, too, LOL! but this one is such a good one I'll post the flashback anyway. Definitely worth repeating, especially if you like bread puddings. This one is from Food & Wine magazine. I made it a while ago and I definitely have this one on the list to make again. It was good, I wouldn't change a thing, maybe a little less heavy on the filling.

Jam and Bread Pudding
source: Food & Wine magazine, recipe by Grace Parisi
Printable Recipe

One 1-pound loaf challah bread, sliced 1/2 inch thick
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons strawberry jam or preserves
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon whole milk or half-and-half
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange half of the challah in the dish; tear the slices to fit. Spread 3/4 cup of the jam on top; cover with the remaining challah.

Whisk the eggs, sugar, 2 1/2 cups of the milk and the vanilla and pour over the challah; press to soak and brush with 4 tablespoons of the butter. Cover with foil and bake for 24 minutes, removing the foil halfway through, until the pudding is set; remove from the oven.

Preheat the broiler. Blend the remaining 1 tablespoon of milk with the confectioners' sugar. Add the remaining butter and jam and stir until the glaze is smooth. Spread all but 1/4 cup of the glaze over the pudding and broil until the glaze is golden. Drizzle the bread pudding with the remaining glaze and serve.

  7. Great flashback, Carol. We love bread pudding TOO much and have no willpower when it's around. Yours looks like a fabulous but dangerous recipe. :) I must try it.
