Joey's Bread Pudding

This recipe came out very good but I kinda goofed through it. Mine was very thick & custardy with a nice crusty top even though I realized after I skipped the 'toast bread' step. Mine was already a couple of days old and nice and firm which helped to spread the butter and not smoosh the bread. I had to use about 3 cups heavy whipping cream and 2 cups half&half as that is what I had on hand. It wasn't grainy at all even without a water bath which I really liked. I also accidently dumped quite a bit of cinnamon after the shaker top fell off (oopsie!) but if this hadn't happened I think it may have been too bland. I will make this again with the same 'adjustments'. Yummy!

I loved this recipe,easy and very creamy. I took another members suggestion and added more cinnamon, I also thought it too sweet next time I will reduce the amount of sugar.

This recipe is very rich but, will it ever make your mouth water! I have made this a over and over with nothing less than great reviews. Thank you Joey.

I made this today for thanksgiving and it was a dud. I thought it needed alot more than a pinch of cinnamon and it wasn't very tastey. Maybe more cinnamon and sugar.

I make this very often. I use up my old bread and send it to my grandmother...she loves it. I don't care for bread pudding, but I like this one.

Very rich with a good flavor, but kind of messy to make and not as custardy as I prefer. Overall very good tho! Try it!

My family loves this! It is true comfort food. I halve the recipe and use less sugar (4 Tbsps butter, 8 slices bread, 6 eggs, 1-1/2 Tbsp vanilla, 2-1/2 cups half-n-half and 3/4 cup sugar). I sprinkle with cinnamon and bake it in a 9 by 9 inch baking dish for 40 to 45 minutes and serve with whipped cream and fresh berries.

Needs more cinnamon but otherwise is really good. A sauce to serve on top wouldn't hurt either. Eating it hot with vanilla ice cream on the side would take it over the top!

Will definitely be my new go to bread pudding recipe. Everyone raved. Perfect

For a bit of a tang, I added 1cup dried cranberries. I took a picture of it right our of the oven. My husband & I stood heading at it in amazement, then snapped a picture. We had it much later after dinner. Everyone, and I mean everyone, said that it was the best bread pudding theirs ever had. I'mma keeping this recipe!

My husband loves bread pudding so I decided to give this recipe a try. I did tweak the recipe a little by using half and half cream in place of the milk. I also used two cups of sugar instead of three and added a pinch of pumpkin spice and nutmeg. The result was a delicious bread pudding that was a big hit with my family, especially my husband. Will hold onto this one.

I haven't made bread pudding in 20 years and am so happy I made this one. So, so, so good. Made it for a luncheon and it was a hit. This is a custard type of bread pudding and it lived up to the description. After reading reviews, I decided to butter just one side of the bread and I will do that again. Another reviewer suggested a vanilla sauce to dribble over the pudding when ready to eat, excellent with that sauce.
