Photo: Breakfast Bread Pudding Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 extra-large whole eggs
- 2 extra-large egg yolks
- 2 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons orange zest (2 oranges)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Brioche loaf
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- Maple syrup, to serve
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, honey, vanilla, orange zest, and salt. Set aside.
Slice the brioche loaf into 6 (1-inch) thick pieces. Lay half brioche slices flat in a 9 by 14 by 2-inch oval baking dish. Spread the raisins on top of the brioche slices, and place the remaining slices on top. Make sure that the raisins are between the layers of brioche or they will burn while baking. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and allow to soak for 15 minutes, pressing down gently.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.

This was delicious, but I think the rack was too high in the oven so the top got too crisp. I used dried cranberries plumped in OJ which was delicious. Next time I will cut or tear the bread into 1-1 1/2 inch cubes as another reviewer suggested. This is a recipe that you can really make your own through improvisation.
This barely served 5 of us (which included 2 teenage boys. I wish the reviewers who made it for a crowd managed the baking, so please comment!

Excellent - I used a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread and omitted the orange. Made it the night before and baked it in the morning. Everyone loved it.

Excellent dish. I took this to a pot luck breakfast and it was a big hit. I used Challah, and cubed it into (approx 1 inch squares. I used craisins because I didn't have raisins, I added a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and the juice of one of the oranges, and I only used 2 cups half and half. I put it all together the night before and let everything marry overnight in the refrigerator. It was moist, delicious and although you could pick out the flavor of the orange, the consensus was that it was delightful, not overpowering. A real crowd pleaser!
