Excellent recipe. Here are some thoughts to consider with bread pudding recipes in general.

I’ve made a number of bread puddings and I’ve “established” a ratio of eggs to milk from all the different recipes I’ve tried. For bread pudding, I do an egg for every 1/2 cup of milk. I like that custard-like consistency and taste. For corn pudding and veggie pudding/pie (corn pudding, squash casserole, etc.), I use one egg for every 1/4 cup of milk. All I’m suggesting is try different egg CS milk ratios to find your preference.

I’ve never cooked bread pudding in a water bath but I’ve heard people do that sometimes.

My Mom (about 60 years ago) used to also put in a short can of drained crushed pineapple in her bread pudding. I think the recipe you posted matches what she used to make…and I have the fondest memories of.

Lastly, here in the SC Lowcountry, we don’t use whipped cream so much on bread pudding…we use a sauce…typically a bourbon or rum sauce. The simplest version of that would be melted butter and a few tablespoons of bourbon…melting the butter and burning off the alcohol. Then, whisk in a little (heavy) cream. Do all of that to taste.

Wherever I travel to, I always try the local bread pudding wherever I may find it. My favorite dessert. Sometimes it reminds me of Mom and sometimes it doesn’t. 😊
