bread pudding

Baked stale dessert

Bread pudding is a baked dessert made from stale bread soaked in a custard of milk, eggs, and sugar, often with raisins, spices, or other additions.

The dish transforms leftover bread into something rich and comforting: Grandma's bread pudding was the best part of Sunday dinner.

It may be served with sauce—bourbon, caramel, or vanilla.
