AMARETTO BREAD PUDDING RECIPES

Steps:

• To make the syrup:
• Combine 1 cup of water and brown sugar in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil until the syrup reduces to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cream and cinnamon. Keep the syrup warm. (The syrup can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Re-warm before serving.);
• To make the bread pudding:
• Lightly butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes in prepared dish.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, and sugar to blend. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, and press the bread cubes gently to submerge. Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly.
• Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm cinnamon syrup, and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the Steak Mixture ingredients just until uniform. Do not overmix. Shape into 6 patties and let rest for at least 10 minutes for breadcrumbs to absorb flavor.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the Sauce Mixture ingredients.
• Add butter to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTÉ function.
• When butter melts, brown the steaks on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Meat may not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you will have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add onions and mushrooms to the pot and Sauté until onions begin to soften, 3-4 minutes.
• Add sauce mixture to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Layer the steaks back into to the pot on top of the vegetables.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 15 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Carefully remove the steaks from the pot to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil, reserving juices.
• In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and cold water. Stir into the pot until thickened, returning to SAUTÉ mode as needed. Adjust seasonings.
• Serve the steak topped with gravy over noodles, spaghetti squash or mashed potatoes.
