I didn't have high expectations from this basic recipe, I just wanted to see if I could make a decent pudding, after tasting this dessert for the first time last month. I was so wrong! It was easy, quick, economical, and most of all delicious! We were pleasantly surprised. I may use 1 less egg the next time, and only 1/2 cup sugar. Thanks for sharing!

I altered this recipe some to fit my tastes and took a few hints from some of the reviewers recommendations. I used a whole loaf of home made Cinnamon Brioche bread, reduced the egg count to three whole eggs and one egg white, replaced the white sugar with brown, baked till almost done then sprinkled with craisins and golden raisins along with 4 extra tbs of butter. By adding extra bread I think it took down the sweetness a notch or two so after removing from the oven I drizzled an icing of 1/4 cup confectioners sugar 3 tbs heavy cream and a splash of vanilla. It turned out great!! BIG hit at Thanksgiving!

No left overs, I guess that says it all! The plus is how simple it is to make.

The only change I made was to use two potato hot dog buns and three slices of sliced Italian bread. Otherwise, I followed the recipe to a "T". It's fantastic - totally reminds me of how my mom made it when I was a kid. I will no longer search for another bread pudding recipe.

This is it, the ultimate bread pudding recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and it was VERY sweet. I saw some reviewers say they added 1/2 cup of brown sugar...that would have been WAY too sweet for my family and we're junk food junkies!

This was my first time making bread pudding. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out excellent. I wasn't sure on what kind of bread to use, so I just used regular white bread. I will make this one again and again.

I had never had bread pudding before I made this. This was fantastic! Absolutely delectable. Those that tried it, and had had bread pudding before said this was perfect. I used 7 slices of fresh, slightly toasted bread, a 9in, round pie dish, and 4 eggs. I also added 1/4c of brown sugar. I didn't eat it with sauce but my mom used a sauce from a maple butter blondie recipe from this site, added whipped cream, and said it was exactly like the dish she gets at a restaurant. So wonderful! Thank you **Update: I've made this with gluten free bread and it was just as tasty! It may need to be cooked a bit longer than called for if you prefer a firmer pudding, however.

WOW!!!! Everyone LOVED and DEVOURED this when I made it. I was never a fan of Bread Pudding until I tried this one. It is truly DELICIOUS!!! I took the advice of a few others on this site and made the following changes: Used Half and Half instead of Milk, Used Peppridge Farm Raisin Swirl Bread and omitted the raisins. Added 1/4 cup of Brown Sugar. Used Turbinado sugar in place of the granulated sugar. I served this with the Vanilla Sauce recipe I found on this site. I did NOT reduce the amount of eggs, I increased the number of slices of bread to about 12 and used a 7 X 11 inch glass pan instead of the 8 X 8. Give it a try, it is FABULOUS!!!

Very good recipe. No "WOW" factor, but very good. I used sourdough bread. I will make again, but I might play around w/some additional ingredients, like chocolate chips or something. Thanks for the recipe, Ellen.

What a terrific recipe! I'd never tried bread pudding before, and this couldn't be easier, more economical, or yummier. I used 3 eggs simply because that's all I had on hand, threw in some chocolate chips and cherries, and it was to die for. I did let it sit overnight so the bread really soaked up the liquid; I was using heels of homemade wheat bread and didn't want the consistancy to be too coarse. You can throw in whatever nuts/fruits/candy you have on hand, you substitute flavored creamers for some of the milk, can top it with whipped cream, ice cream, sauces, yogurt -- the possibilities are endless. This one's going right to the front of my recipe book.

I've made this wonderful recipe several times and especially love it this time of year. I keep bread ends (white, whole wheat, rolls, whatever) in a bag in the freezer until I have enough. This is one of our family's favorites. Inexpensive too.

This is the best recipe for bread pudding. I doubled the recipe using whole wheat french bread and added an extra 2 eggs + 1 cup milk to keep it moist.

This is one of the easiest bread pudding recipes I've ever seen, so I gave it a try. I'm glad I did! Soooooo delicious, and so easy! I added more cinnamon and vanilla (because I love cinnamon and vanilla), but other than that I made it as written. I tried it fresh from the oven and chilled, but I like warm better, so I just warm up leftovers in the microwave. I think I'll use this bread pudding recipe from now on.
