How to Make Bread Pudding Without a Recipe

By Joelene

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 –1 cup sugar (for sweet bread pudding only)
• 2 –4 cups liquid, such as milk, cream, half-and-half, non-dairy milk, or vegetable broth.
• 4 –6 cups bread cubes
• 2 –4 cups fruit, nuts, or vegetables
• seasonings

Preparation

Step 1

1. Whisk 4 large eggs 
with 1/2–1 cup sugar (for sweet bread pudding only), then whisk in 2–4 cups liquid, such as milk, cream, half-and-half, non-dairy milk, or vegetable broth. (Note: the more liquid you use, the less firm the custard will be.)

2. Stir in 4–6 cups bread cubes, and let soak 15 to 
20 minutes, pressing bread into liquid occasionally. Fold in 2–4 cups fruit, nuts, or vegetables—whatever you want to add to the recipe—and season with fresh or dried herbs, spices, and/or extracts.

3. Transfer mixture to 9-inch square baking dish, and bake 45 minutes to 
1 hour, or until set in middle and lightly puffed. Voila!
