Didi gave me this 9 x 13 inch pan. She's embarrassed by the pictures of my beat up bakeware that I have on my blog. Nice yah! So I decided to show it off by making some bread pudding. Try check out CQ's version . . . it was really ono. And there's also Brandee's Bread Pudding . . . winnahs.
Break up 6 large croissants into pieces and spread in pan.
Mix 2 cups milk, 5 eggs, 2 tsp. vanilla and 2 cups sugar. Maybe 1 cup sugar is enough . . . came out kinda sweet.
Pour over croissants.
Let sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 45 minutes. I ended up baking it for 35 minutes.
This is for the topping. It turned out more like a glaze than custard. Melt 1 stick butter and 1 cup sugar. I put it on low heat.
Beat 1 egg with 2 tsp. vanilla in a bowl.
This was the scary part. Add a couple ladles of the butter/sugar mixture to the egg and blend.
Then pour into pot of butter/sugar on stove and mix. You have to do it this way so that the egg doesn't cook. I ended up with choke topping. So maybe you can go 1/2 block butter, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 egg. Might come out more custardy that way too.
It was sweet but really good. It didn't last too long in my house. I like make um again, but if you read my last post . . . I'm dieting.

Ha, ha, nice pan! You look so professional now.
Mmiissee, you should've seen me making the sauce. First melting the butter and sugar, I was like OMG OMG. Is it done? Is it done? Am I gonna get lollipops? Then when I poured it into the egg . . . OMG OMG. Am I gonna get scrambled eggs? I was sooo stressing!
Rand, broke da mouth and the reason why I'm dieting now!
Grayce, nice my pan yah!
Hahaha, Erick, wish I could cook better now.
YUM! Love bread pudding, easy recipe. It always freaks me out when a recipe calls for adding a milk mixture to eggs.
Betty, it was easy . . . except for stressing about the sauce.
Meant to say I love your new pan. Don't you almost hate to get it dirty cause its so pretty! I also love your pottery bowls...nice shapes.
I know what you mean, Betty. And I'm so rough on everything, it'll probably get beat up real fast.
yeah, the pan is supa nice!!
randism (randy? hiii!) - breadpudding and coffee is so so perfect for breakfast or after dinner.
Grayce, I'm hungry again . . .
