How to Make Butter Pecan Bread Pudding

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Generously butter a 9-inch pie plate.
Place 6 cups of cubed stale bread (challah, brioche, or Texas toast recommended) in the pie plate.
Sprinkle evenly with ½ cup butterscotch chips and ¼ cup pecan halves.
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk and ½ cup packed light brown sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 large egg yolk. Slowly whisk in the warm milk mixture until well combined.
Pour the custard evenly over the bread, ensuring all pieces are moistened.
Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup pecan halves over the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pudding is puffed, golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
