How to Make Blueberry Bagel Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Generously butter a 9x9 inch glass baking dish or 8 individual ramekins (approximately 6 oz each).
  3. Tear 6 day-old blueberry bagels into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Pour 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of heavy cream over the bagels. Let it absorb for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter and let it cool slightly.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Add the cooled melted butter to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.
  8. Pour the egg mixture over the bagel mixture, gently stirring to combine and evenly distribute the blueberries.
  9. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish(es).
  10. Place in the center of the preheated oven.
  11. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes (9x9 inch dish) or 30 minutes (individual ramekins), or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If using a 9x9 inch dish, check for doneness at 30 minutes; if using individual ramekins, check at 20 minutes. Baking times may vary based on your oven and dish size.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite custard sauce or whipped cream!
