BLUEBERRY BRIOCHE BREAD PUDDING image

Yield 4 Sernings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped, or a few drops pure vanilla
extract
5 sprigs mint, 1 sprig, leaves only, reserved for garnish
Freshly grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup sugar
4 gelatin sheets or 1 packet unflavored Knox gelatin
4 slices brioche or challah bread, cut 1/3-inch thick
8 ounces fresh blueberries

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the milk, cream, vanilla (bean and scrapings), 4 mint sprigs, and lemon zest in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat, stir in the sugar and gelatin, and let set for 3 minutes. Remove the mint and vanilla bean. 2. Place a baking cup 3 inches in diameter and 1-1/2 inches deep top side down on the center of a slice of bread to cut out a disk the size of cup. Discard the bread trimmings and set the bread disk aside. Repeat with the remaining 3 bread slices. 3. Fill 4 baking cups halfway with blueberries. Pour the warm milk mixture over the blueberries to fill each cup 3/4 full. Place 1 bread disk in each cup over the blueberry mixture. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes (the custard should not be completely set). Turn on the broiler and broil until the bread is nicely toasted. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Refrigerate for several hours before serving. To Serve: To unmold, run a small blade around the side of each cup and invert the blueberry bread pudding onto a dessert plate. Garnish with reserved mint leaves.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoon(s) butter, softened
1/2 - brioche or challah bread (8 oz)
1 cup(s) fresh or thawed frozen blueberries
2 cup(s) milk
4 large eggs
1/4 cup(s) plus 1 tbsp. sugar
2 teaspoon(s) finely grated orange rind
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

Steps:

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly butter 4 (8-oz) custard cups or ramekins. Slice brioche crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices. Lightly butter each slice with remaining softened butter.
Divide brioche slices among custard cups, arranging them randomly upright and horizontal. Scatter 1/4 cup blueberries between and around brioche slices in each cup.
In a medium-size bowl, beat together milk, eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, orange rind, and vanilla until well blended. Divide egg mixture evenly among custard cups, pouring it over brioche slices and berries. (tops of brioche will not be covered by egg mixture). Sprinkle remaining tablespoon sugar over each pudding.
Place puddings in a 13 x 9 inch baking pan; pour hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of custard cups. Bake 35-40 minutes or until the brioche slices are toasted and each pudding is set around edges but slightly soft in center. Cool until warm before serving.
