Bread Pudding with Creme Anglaise

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I have to admit that I am not really the biggest bread pudding fan in the world.  I’ve only had it a few times and didn’t find it memorable (except for one time at K Paul’s in New Orleans where it blew my socks off).  At any rate, I saw this recipe in a Wolf Cookbook and decided to try it and I’m happy I did because it was really good!  Then I decided to add a bit of Creme Anglaise because well, why not?  and it got even better.  It would be a great addition to an Easter Brunch buffet or to any buffet at all for that matter.

The original recipe called for allspice, but I’m not a fan.  You can add 1 teaspoon to the egg mixture if you really want to, but I upped the cinnamon instead and might even up it a bit more the next time I make this.

    I LOVE bread pudding! And with creme angliase – oh my! I bet that’s incredible. The combination of warming spices in this sound incredible. I’d love it with my coffee. 🙂
