Dulce de Leche Bread Pudding with Glazed Pears
Ingredients
  • 7 cups  country French or ciabatta bread cubes (10 ounces)
  • 6 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups  milk
  • 1 cup  dulce de leche or butterscotch- or caramel-flavor ice cream topping
  • 1/2 cup  packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon  ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon  vanilla
  • 1 recipe Browned-Butter Glazed Pears
Directions

1. Generously butter eight 8- to 10-ounce ramekins or custard cups. Divide bread cubes among prepared dishes.

2. In a large bowl combine eggs, milk, dulce de leche, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat with a wire whisk or an electric mixer on low speed until smooth.

3. Pour egg mixture over bread in dishes; press lightly with the back of a spoon to moisten bread. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours.

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place dishes in a large roasting pan. Place roasting pan on oven rack. Pour boiling water into roasting pan to reach halfway up sides of dishes. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in centers comes out clean.

5. Remove dishes from water. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread pudding from dishes. Serve warm with Browned-Butter Glazed Pears.
