Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whole Milk
  • 2 cups half-and-Half
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup granulated Sugar
  • 8 hamburger Buns
  • ¾ cup raisins

Butter Rum Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup half-and-half
  • 2 tablespoons rum or substitute Rum flavoring

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray, or grease with butter.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Then add vanilla, milk, and half and half, and blend well. Add cornstarch and sugar, mix well.
  • Break hamburger buns into pieces and place in greased pan. Sprinkle raisins evenly over the bun pieces.
  • Pour egg mixture over the torn buns and raisins. Use the back of a spoon or your clean hands to press the egg mixture in with the mixture.
  • Bake for approximately 55 minutes or until center is set and top is golden. Let rest while you make the Rum Sauce.

Butter Rum Sauce

  • Melt Butter in a small saucepan. Add sugar, and cook on medium-low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a small whisk, or spoon.
  • Add half-and-half and rum and cook for 5 more minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  • Serve warm over bread pudding. Enjoy with ice cream!

Notes

  • Nutritional estimation doesn't include ice cream
  • You can skip the rum if desired.
  • No hamburger buns? Use cubed bread like French bread, brioche, or challah.
  • Want to get fancy? Swap raisins for chocolate chips or chopped pecans.
  • This recipe also makes great individual portions if baked in ramekins on a baking sheet.
