Ingredients for 2Nd Time S The Charm Cornbread Pudding

  • 4 cups cubed leftover cornbread (from a doubled recipe)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • Brown Sugar
  • White Sugar
  • Vanilla
  • Cinnamon

How to Make 2Nd Time S The Charm Cornbread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Cut leftover cornbread into 1-inch cubes. Arrange about half in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cornbread cubes in the pan. Gently press down on the bread to submerge it in the custard. Add the remaining cornbread cubes on top.
  5. Let the pudding sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
