Berry Bread and Butter Pudding

Prep Time30 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time1 hour

Ingredients

  • 1 brioche loaf
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 4 egg yolks room temperature
  • 4 cups half and half warm
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter + 2 tbsp for drizzling/brushing on top melted
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Cut brioche into 1 1/2 inch cubes and place in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk together egg and yolks.
  • While still whisking slowly add half and half and then 3 tbsp of butter to create a custard.
  • Add sugar, vanilla and cinnamon and then whisk to combine.
  • Pour 2/3 of custard over the brioche cubes and allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  • Once custard has been absorbed, place a layer of the soaked bread in a baking dish, measuring approx. 9 x 9 x 5.
  • Mix strawberries and raspberries together then scatter 3/4 on top of the bread.
  • Apply another layer of bread and push down gently so that bread doesn't sit above the top of the baking dish.
  • Scatter the rest of the berries on top. This layer of berries should be sparse with edges of bread sticking out throughout.
  • Brush the top with 2 tbsp of butter then place in a preheated oven at 350 for 25-30 mins.
  • Serve warm with sauce or ice cream.
