Semi-Homemade Creme Brulee Cinnamon Bread Pudding

Did you ever think a dessert could be so good that it doubles as a breakfast possibility? We were busy last night in our Kitchen, experimenting on new and delicious recipes that can be made with little effort and in a pinch. And we struck gold with this little number! We found a pouch of creme brulee mix in the pantry and decided it was the secret ingredient to a new take on bread pudding.

Ingredients

 

  • 6-7 slices of cinnamon raisin bread, cut into bite size cubes
  • 1 apple, peeled and diced
  • Crème Brulée Mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 16 oz heavy creme
  • 1/4 cup of sliced almonds, chopped (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°. Use cooking spray to grease a muffin tin (or substitute with a 9 x 13 pan). toss bread cubes with apples and almonds, if using. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy creme, adding a packet of the crème brulèe mix once eggs and creme are blended. pour the bread mixture into the mixing bowl and stir ingredients together. Let stand for 10-15 minutes (its okay to keep mix refrigerated overnight). Pour the mixture into muffin tins so that each one is three quarters full. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. Bake 35 minutes or until golden brown. Tip: Serve with mixed berries and a scoop of Ice Cream for Dessert or replace with your favorite Yogurt if enjoying this for Breakfast.
