Classic Maple Syrup Bread Pudding

Maple syrup bread pudding is the cozy, caramelized hug your breakfast table has been dreaming of. Imagine stale bread getting a second chance at life, emerging from the oven as a golden, custardy masterpiece that’s equal parts indulgent and comforting.

Ingredients

• 6 cups day-old brioche, torn into 1-inch pieces
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, plus extra for drizzling
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and brush a 9×13-inch baking dish with the melted butter.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, lightly beaten eggs, maple syrup, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt until fully combined.
3. Add the torn brioche pieces to the bowl, gently pressing them down to ensure they’re fully submerged in the custard mixture. Let sit for 15 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid.
4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
