BRENNAN'S BREAD PUDDING WITH BRANDY SAUCE



Brennan's Bread Pudding With Brandy Sauce image

When most bread goes stale it gets tossed in the trash or fed to the birds. But for some lucky loaves, going stale is just the beginning of a transformation into bread pudding - the ambrosial dessert that is a mainstay finale at Creole restaurants across New Orleans. This recipe comes from a restaurant in the French Quarter in New Orleans. The thick creamy sauce is what makes it a truly memorable dessert.

CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING WITH BRANDY CREAM SAUCE



Croissant Bread Pudding with Brandy Cream Sauce image

My good friend Sharon Stein shared this recipe with me a while back. I knew by looking at it how wonderful it would be. The original recipe called for a cornstarch-thickened caramel sauce, but I usually change it to reflect a true caramel sauce, as well as substituting blueberries for the raisins...exquisite!
