BOURBON BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish, and put the cubed brioche in it. Sprinkle with the pecans.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, milk, eggs, butter, brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
• Pour the custard mixture over the bread in the baking dish, giving the bread a stir to make sure it's coated. Let the pudding sit for 1 hour, so the bread can fully absorb the milk.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Once it is ready, put the dish in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until puffy and set. Remove, and let stand 10 minutes before serving. This is absolutely lovely when served with some fresh whipped cream.

BAILEYS AND BANANA BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 inch baking dish.
• Flatten each slice of bread down as much as possible. Butter each piece then cut the slices in half and put aside.

• Slice bananas and lightly toast your almonds in the preheated oven.
• Dip each piece of bread in the egg mixture, then begin to layer the bread, banana, and almonds in the baking dish. Top layer should end in the bread. Pour over the rest of your egg mixture, using your fingers to pat down the bread to make sure it soaks up all the flavor.
• Generously dust the top of the pudding with confectioners sugar and bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until custard has set around the outside but is still jiggly in the middle. Allow it to cool and firm up slightly.
• Serve on its own, with ice cream, or whipped heavy cream.

SOUTHERN-STYLE BAKED BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• Separate eggs, placing the whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and the yolks into a saucepan.
• Add sugar, salt, and 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour to the yolks. Splash in about 1/4 of the milk and start blending mixture with a whisk. Pour in remaining milk and whisk until smooth.
• Cook and stir mixture over medium heat until hot to the touch, occasionally dipping your finger in to test. Whisk constantly until custard is thick enough to form ribbons.
• Remove custard from heat and add vanilla extract, banana liqueur, and cold butter. Whisk until butter dissolves. Set custard aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Toss banana slices with lemon juice.
• Spread a quarter of the custard over the bottom of a baking dish. Add a single layer of vanilla wafers. Cover with 1/2 of the bananas and spread 1/2 of the remaining custard on top. Add another layer of vanilla wafers, using slightly fewer this time. Top with the remaining bananas and custard. Smooth the top and tap dish against the counter to settle the pudding.
• Add cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat using the whisk attachment until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff, but not dry, peaks form. Spread meringue over the pudding using a soft spatula, creating ridges for contrast.
• Bake in the preheated oven until meringue is nicely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.
