Blueberry Cornbread Pudding Recipes

BLUEBERRY CORNBREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Grease and flour an 8x8 baking pan. I use Baker's Joy spray.
• Crumble 4 cups of leftover cornbread into a large bowl.
• In another medium size bowl whisk eggs.
• Add cream, vanilla and sugar to eggs.
• Whisk until well blended.
• Pour the egg mixture into the bowl containing the crumbled cornbread.
• Stir together until well blended,.
• Gently stir in blueberries.
• Let sit for about 5 minutes.
• Pour into 8x8 pan.
• Bake at 375 degrees for about an hour or until golden brown.
• When it is done, a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Serve warm, drizzled with buttery maple syrup.
• Buttery Maple Syrup:.
• In a small saucepan gently warm syrup with butter just until butter is melted (Do NOT boil). Drizzle over warm bread.
• **This bread is only slightly sweet due to the maple syrup topping. If you don't want to use the syrup topping you can increase the amount of sugar to your liking.
• **This recipe is best made with fresh berries. However, if you are using frozen berries please add them to the mixture frozen and not thawed. This keeps the juice "inside" the berries and keeps the bread mixture from turning blue.

THE BEST BLUEBERRY BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Vigorously whisk eggs, egg yolks, salt, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until mixture turns light and frothy, about 1 minute. Add vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest, milk, and cream; whisk to combine. Toss in bread slices and press down until they start to soften and are submerged. Let sit, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until custard has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter in the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Grab a few intact bread slices from the top of the bowl if possible and set aside. Transfer 1/2 of the remaining soaked bread into the prepared baking dish. Don't worry if it's falling apart, it should be; if not, break it up into pieces. Add blueberries and spread with your fingers to press them down into the bread. Add remaining bread pieces in an even layer, then top with the reserved slices. Pour any remaining custard batter over top and brush with remaining melted butter.
• Transfer bread pudding onto a baking sheet and place in the center of the preheated oven. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 1 hour. Let sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
• Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
