Caramel-Pear Bread Pudding
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 2-quart square or rectangular baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl combine bread cubes and melted butter; toss to coat. Stir in pear and dried cranberries. Transfer bread mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl combine eggs, milk, 1/3 cup of the caramel topping, the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly pour egg mixture evenly over bread mixture; let stand for 5 minutes. Press lightly with the back of a large spoon to moisten all of the ingredients.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
- To serve, sprinkle warm bread pudding with pecans (if desired) and drizzle with the remaining 1/3 cup caramel topping.
