Ingredients

  • 6 slices white bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dark rum
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups whole milk, scalded
  • 2 cups sliced canned peaches in syrup, drained, liquid reserved
  • 1 cup chopped or crushed canned pineapple in syrup, drained, liquid reserved
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into 8 thin slices
  • 1 recipe Rum Creme Anglaise, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Toss the bread cubes with the melted butter in a large bowl, spread on a large baking sheet, and bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a 7 by 11-inch baking dish and set aside.

Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the sugar, rum, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt and whisk to combine. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly. Add the syrup from both canned, drained fruits and whisk to combine.

Arrange the fruit over the toasted bread cubes. Pour the custard evenly over the mixture, dot with the sliced butter, and bake until the custard sets, about 35 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes.

Spoon the pudding into dessert bowls, ladle 3 to 4 tablespoons of the rum sauce over each serving, and serve.

Rum Creme Anglaise:

  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups milk, scalded
  • 1/4 cup dark rum

Whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, sugar, and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Slowly whisk in the warm milk and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl and stir in the rum. Serve room temperature or chilled.

    The sauce was absolutely amazing (will definitely do again but the pudding itself was kind of so-so.

    This recipe is really mislabeled, it's not medium but really easy! Use quality melted vanilla ice cream for the Anglaise sauce, like Haagen Daaz!

    Even having to make a few substitutions and omissions (no vanilla OR nutmeg in my cupboard, the bread pudding turned out beautifully. The sauce was a little rummy for my taste though, I definitely recommend adding the rum slowly to taste.
