PECAN PIE BREAD PUDDING RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut the bread into cubes and let sit out about an hour to dry out a bit. Using day-old bread is perfect; the drier the bread cubes, the more yumminess they soak up!
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, mix the eggs until they are combined. Add the milk, sugar, and vanilla and stir until combined.
• Place the bread cubes in a baking pan and pour the milk and egg mixture over them.
• Melt butter in a small microwave-proof bowl. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Stir in the pecans.
• Pour this mixture over the bread and egg mixture, and gently fold. Don't mix it in thoroughly, just fold so the yummy pecan mixture forms into clumps throughout the bread pudding.
• Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is slightly brown. The center will still be a little jiggly.
• Allow to cool at least 20 minutes before serving. The egg mixture will continue to cook, and the bread will soak up more yumminess.

Steps:

• Combine flour, pecans, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl. Whisk together milk, sour cream, and 1 egg in a separate bowl. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just blended and smooth. Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat; butter. Pour about ¼ cup batter for each pancake onto griddle. Cook until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook until plump and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Slice each pancake in half and arrange, flat side down, in two snug rows in an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Scatter half of blueberries over pancakes, tucking a few between pancakes. Whisk together half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, remaining 4 eggs, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl. Pour egg mixture over pancakes. Chill at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Bake until puffed and set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining blueberries and drizzle with Honey Sour Cream. Serve warm. Honey Sour Cream: Whisk together sour cream, half-and-half, honey, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Makes 1/2 cup.
