Ingredients

Bread Pudding

  • 2 C Sugar
  • 5 Eggs (beaten)
  • 2 C Milk
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla
  • 3 C Bread (stale, cubed)

Crumble

  • 1/2 C Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 C Butter (softened)
  • 1 C Nuts (chopped)

Sauce

  • 1 C Sugar
  • 1/2 C Butter (melted)
  • 1 Egg (beaten)
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla
  • 1/4 C Amaretto Liquor (any liquor can be substituted)

Instructions

Bread Pudding

  • Preheat oven to 350⁰ F.
  • Whisk together sugar, eggs, and milk in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add cubed bread to the egg and milk mixture and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combined crumble ingredients together with a fork.
  • Pour bread mixture into a 13"x9" pan and sprinkle the brown sugar and nut mixture over the top.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes.
  • Cool the pan on a rack and begin preparing the sauce.

Sauce

  • Over low heat, slowly melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the sugar and vanilla.
  • While whisking the butter and sugar mixture very rapidly, slowly add the beaten egg.  Whisking quickly prevents the egg from cooking before it mixes into the sauce.
  • Raise the heat to medium and, stirring constantly, heat until the sugar is melted and the sauce becomes slightly thick and fluffy-looking.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat and add the Amaretto liquor. Pour the sauce onto the bread pudding and serve warm or cold.
