Pumpkin Brioche Bread Pudding Recipe


12 ounces Brioche Bread torn into small pieces, about 5 cups
2 ½ cups half-and-half
4 large eggs
1 1/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree (better if you roast a pumpkin yourself)
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven at 350.
In a bowl combine eggs, sugars, pumpkin puree, melted butter, spices, and vanilla; blend well. Pour mixture directly over the bread into the greased baking dish and allow the bread to absorb the mixture for 4 minutes. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until set.
Serve Warm with Caramel and Whipped Cream
