Last week, we had some guests over for dinner and Lon bought three baguettes, when we only needed one. This is common Lon behavior but of course, I had to figure out what to do with it. I decided to throw together a simple bread pudding and everyone seemed to love it (4 people finished about 75% of a 9x13 pan) so I'm posting the recipe, which was basically made based on what I had at home at the time.
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 (6-8 oz) baguettes, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- Whisk eggs, sugar, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together until smooth. Set aside.
- Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray and spread baguette cubes evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the dried cranberries on top.
- Pour the egg/milk mixture on top and press the bread down lightly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. (You can leave it overnight.)
- When you're ready to bake it, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and take the bread pudding out of the refrigerator while the oven heats up.
- Bake at 300 degrees F for 45 minutes.
