    I'm partial to a breakfast that could also double as a dessert - and this bread pudding is the perfect example of such a thing! So is this pull apart bread 🙂 Soft brioche bread that's baked into a bread pudding with chocolate chips and the drizzled with a bit of caramel sauce! How could you go wrong with that? It's perfection and I can guarantee that it will be a very welcome addition to your holiay agenda! If you want have brioche left over from this recipe, whip up some caramelized french toast!

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 pound brioche bread cut into 1-inch cubes
    • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
    • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    • 2 ½ cups half and half
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 6 large eggs
    • 4 large egg yolks
    • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
    • teaspoon salt
    • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

    Caramel Sauce Recipe:

    • 1 cup packed brown sugar
    • ½ cup half-and-half
    • 4 tablespoons butter
    • Pinch salt
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350°F.
    • Butter 13x9 -inch baking dish. Place bread in large bowl; pour 8 tablespoons melted butter over bread and toss to coat. Add chocolate chips and toss to combine. Transfer mixture to the prepared dish.
    • Whisk half and half, 1 cup sugar, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt in large bowl to blend. Pour over bread cubes in dish. Let stand 30 minutes, occasionally pressing bread cubes into liquid. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter over pudding; sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake bread pudding until golden brown, and set in center, about 1 hour. Serve warm with Caramel Sauce.

    To make the caramel sauce:

    • Mix the brown sugar, half-and-half, butter and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook while whisking gently for 5 to 7 minutes, until it gets thicker. Add the vanilla and cook another minute to thicken further. Turn off the heat, cool slightly and pour the sauce into a jar. Refrigerate until cold and use as needed.

    Notes

    This is so decadent you can use it as a dessert. But when holiday season is here, no one will complain about a rich breakfast either!

    1. If I wanted to make this ahead of time, could I reheat? Or just let it sit in the custard until ready to cook

    2. Love this! How would you recommend proportioning this recipe to make mini bundt cake size bread puddings? How long should this bake in the mini bundt cake pans?
      Thank you!

    3. looks amazing! For a gluten- free version, what kind of bread do you reccomend?? Just regular samdwhich bread from TJ’s or the udis baguettes maybe??
