Bread pudding
New Orleans Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce
Day-old bread soaked in a rich custard, baked until golden and set, drizzled with a warm vanilla butter sauce. This is Southern dessert at its most soul-satisfying.
Bread pudding is the original waste-nothing dessert. Stale bread, eggs, cream, sugar — and something almost magical happens in that oven. Pour that warm vanilla sauce over it and you've made something that feels like a Sunday afternoon.

Steps
- 01Whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Toss bread cubes in the custard and press to soak. Let sit 30 minutes — or overnight in the fridge for best results.
- 02Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13 baking dish generously. Pour in the soaked bread and custard. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
- 03Bake 45–55 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is just set — it should jiggle slightly but not be liquid. Rest 15 minutes before serving.
- 04Make the sauce: melt butter, whisk in powdered sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, and cream over low heat until smooth and glossy. Pour warm over each serving. Serve immediately.
