This bread pudding gives the classic comfort food a fun twist by using blueberry bagels and folding in fresh blueberries.
Blueberry Bagel Bread Pudding
The custard-soaked bagels soften into a sweet, fruity bread pudding flecked with bursts of fruit. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup + 1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 cups cubed blueberry bagels
- 1 1/4 cups blueberries
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter bottom and sides of an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; whisk in cream and 1 cup sugar, and bring mixture to a simmer. Remove pan from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and vanilla until well combined - about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in hot cream until well combined. Stir in chopped blueberry bagels and allow mixture to sit for 10 minutes.
