What is Brioche?
How to Make Bourbon Brioche Bread Pudding
- RAISINS: Pour ¼cup of bourbon into a medium bowl, add the raisins. Let soak 5 minutes.
- BREAD: Brioche is my favorite bread to use for bread pudding. If you can’t find Brioche (Usually not on the bread isle but in the bakery section of the store) you can also use Italian bread. You won’t get the wonderful egg flavor but it still works.
- SUGAR: Instead of using white granulated sugar, I chose to add brown sugar. The light caramel flavor enhances the bourbon.
- SPICES: To bring it all together add the warm spices of cinnamon and nutmeg.
- CUSTARD: You can’t have bread pudding without an outstanding custard. Whisk together the eggs, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and MORE BOURBON!
