Trader Jo's Pumpkin Brioche Bread Pudding/French Toast Casserole


Yes please! This is so tasty! I revised my last version of this adding heavy cream and whole milk instead of regular milk and added freshly grated orange rind. It definitely was a game changer in the texture and creaminess! I made a homemade caramel sauce to lightly drizzle over the top. Craig LOVED it! I hope you enjoy it as much as we have! If you cant find pumpkin brioche you can substitute with a cinnamon bread or any brioche bread.

Recipe

4 cups toasted dry brioche cut into 1 inch cubes ( To toast, bake at 350 for 10 minutes on a cookie sheet) Set aside.

In a mixing bowl combine

4 beaten eggs

1 3/4 cup whole milk

3/4 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp grated orange peel

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 TBSP vanilla

Butter a square baking dish and add the bread cubes. Pour egg mixture over bread cubes and press mixture lightly with the back of a spoon.

Bake uncovered at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until puffed and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Top with warm caramel sauce.

Bon Appetit!

Caramel Sauce

(This will be a little runnier than a typical caramel topping but its perfect for this dish)

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1 Tbsp corn starch

1/4 cup water

1/3 cup heavy cream

2 Tbsp light colored corn syrup

1 Tbsp butter

1/2 tsp vanilla

In a heavy saucepan combine brown sugar and cornstarch Stir in 1/4 cup water. Add heavy cream corn starch and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 -3 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.


Enjoy!
