Food Friday - Slow Cooker Bread Pudding
This is a little late in the year for thinking about Bread Pudding...but me...I like any dessert any time. Also I promised my sisters at our last Crafty Sister Day that I would post this
I don't remember where I got this recipe so I can't give you a link or give proper credit. I can vouch that the recipe has converted a few folks who told me they didn't like bread pudding. You can serve this with vanilla sauce...or our favorite...vanilla ice cream. I love the contrast of hot and cold.
Other variations I have made included adding toasted nuts of various types and I've used dried cranberries too.
SLOW COOKER BREAD PUDDING
SERVINGS: 6
TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 3 hours
Ingredients:
8 cups cubed day-old unfrosted cinnamon rolls (You could also use 8 slices of cinnamon bread, cut into 1-inch cubes)
4 eggs
2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup raisins
Directions:
Place cubed cinnamon rolls in a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a small mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, butter, vanilla and nutmeg; beat until smooth. Stir in raisins. Pour over cinnamon rolls; stir gently. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours or until a knife comes out clean.
Resist the temptation to cook on high..the milk does not like that at all and your bread will be dry! Allow yourself 3 hours and all will be well!
