Soft Bread Pudding: A Magical Way to Use Leftover Bread
Don’t Waste Leftover Bread! Super Simple Bread Pudding Recipe Inspired by Chef Baek Jong-won
Have leftover bread at home that’s starting to get stale? Don’t throw it away! Transform it into a deliciously sweet and soft bread pudding. This incredibly easy recipe is perfect for a delightful dessert or snack.
Main Ingredients- 2 slices of bread (thicker slices work well)
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream (approx. 150-200g)
- 1 large egg (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, tear the 2 slices of bread into small pieces or dice them into bite-sized cubes. Tearing the bread by hand will result in a softer pudding texture, while dicing it will give you a bit more chew. If you have children, tearing the bread together can be a fun activity.
Step 2
Crack 1 egg into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of sugar. The amount of sugar can be adjusted based on the sweetness of the ice cream and your personal preference. Use a whisk to gently beat the egg until the yolk and white are well combined, and the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3
Now, add the torn bread to the bowl. Pour the beaten egg mixture and the vanilla ice cream over the bread. Gently mix everything together with a spatula or spoon, allowing the ice cream to melt and soak into the bread, creating a moist texture. Letting the bread sit for 1-2 minutes will help it absorb the egg mixture and ice cream even better.
Step 4
Once all the ingredients are well combined, pour the pudding mixture into a microwave-safe dish or ramekin. Smooth the top slightly, then microwave for about 3 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so check periodically and adjust until the pudding appears set and slightly firm. Enjoy your warm, soft, and sweet bread pudding right away!
