@blueskys  Hi - Meredith Laurence (The Blue Jean Chef) posted her Bread Pudding recipe on QVC awhile ago and I tried it and it was delicious.  I gave the recipe to my daughter and she made it also and loved it!  I'm sure you could find the recipe on her website.

My Mom made one back in the day. It was made w/raisan bread and 1/2 the liquid was coffee and the other half was cream.Sadly,I have lost the receipe.

Here's The Basics Bread Pudding from Blue Jean Chef. I have never made it. I have never ate bread pudding. I never even heard of it until I saw it on QVC.

@katte Is this the one you made??? 

Basic Bread Pudding

Author: The Blue Jean Chef, Meredith Laurence

Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

• butter
• 3 cups milk
• 6 eggs
• ¾ cup granulated or brown sugar
• 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• pinch ground nutmeg
• pinch salt
• 12 cups cubed challah or brioche (or other egg-based bread), cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1-pound loaf)
• ½ cup any flavoring ingredient (chocolate, dried berries, apples, etc…)

Instructions

1. Grease a 7-inch by 11-inch baking pan (ceramic or metal) with butter.
2. Combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a bowl. Beat well. Add the milk and whisk.
3. Toss the bread cubes and flavoring ingredient together and place into the greased baking pan. Pour the egg custard over the top. Press down on the bread cubes to help the bread absorb the custard and let the pudding sit until most of the liquid has been absorbed. In the meantime, pre-heat the oven to 350ºF.
4. Transfer the bread pudding to the oven and bake in the 350ºF oven for one hour, or until a skewer inserted in the center of the pudding comes out clean, the top is nicely browned and springs back when you touch it.
5. Let the pudding cool to an edible temperature. Then serve with some maple syrup, whipped cream or a sauce.

I make a Bourbon Bread Pudding that is very rich with French baguettes and 8 egg yolks.  A more basic recipe is:

6 slices day-old cinnamon swirl bread

2 tbsp melted butter

1/2 cup golden raisins (if you like them)

4 eggs, beaten

2 cups cream

3/4 cups sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

Tear bread into small pieces and place in 8"x8" baking pan.  Drizzle butter over bread, and sprinkle with raisins (if desired).

Beat eggs, cream, sugars, cinnamon, and vanilla in bowl until combined.  Pour over bread and push down with fork until bread is covered.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.  I serve it with bourbon sauce made with cream, sugar, butter, and cornstarch.
