My wife refuses to even discuss the possibility of eating bread pudding. So one day I made “French toast casserole”. She loved it.

Pfft, ahah. There's no way to run out of ideas with cooking. Go to your library. Look in the cookbooks. There's probably even a metric cookbook lurking in there. But we've been making bread and beer since the dawn of civility.

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

I love making all kinds of bread pudding-especially with croissants!

[@BeachPeach2010]

I was thinking about a bread pudding (had stale bread earmarked for croutons) and then I remembered I also had blueberries that I intended to use for mini pies... and here I am. Thanks, Chef John, glad to know you are one step ahead! 👍

So funny to me that you brought up sprinkling sugar on top as I would totally do a sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar on top. I do that with French toast casseroles. My family loves the thin, crunchy topping it melts into on the top.

[@SundaysChild1966]

I think it looks a little .. bald .. the sugar and cinnamon would be a nice addition ..

For those like myself that might have issues combined with what's going on in the world today leave it to Chef John to pick up our spirits.

Mmmmm my mouth is watering. Not had bread and butter pudding for years. It was a family favourite when I was a kid. My Mum used raisins instead of blueberries and she did sprinkle brown sugar on the top and it went all crunchy and delicious. Sometimes she served it with pouring cream, other times with custard. Both delicious!! I love the idea of using blueberries. Bet it would be good with blackberries too 😋

At my grandmother's (UK long, long time ago) dinner was called tea and consisted of cold stuffs and salads, table laid up with plates of sliced, buttered bread. Any left over bread made into pudding with currants, usually a treat for the children. Very nostalgic, up there with bubble and squeak.

Many years ago, Safeway used to sell a twin-pack of challah bread pudding with raisins in their frozen dessert section. They came in miniature bundt forms and would cook up in about 15-18 minutes at 350 degrees. Delicious, especially with a spoonful of funky, dark rum poured over before popping them out of the forms. Of course they were discontinued.
