How to Make Crazy Bread Pudding With Zucchini Milk

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the zucchini milk: Peel, seed, and roughly chop 2 medium zucchini (about 2 cups). Blend in a high-speed blender until completely smooth and creamy. This will create approximately 2 cups of zucchini milk.
  3. Heat the zucchini milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and incorporated.
  5. Grease a 4-quart casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of margarine.
  6. In a large metal bowl, combine 6 cups of cubed stale bread (challah, brioche, or a similar bread works best).
  7. Pour the warm zucchini milk mixture over the bread cubes. Gently stir to coat evenly.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  9. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and zucchini milk. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all the bread is moistened.
  10. Dice 1 medium apple (about 1 cup) and 1/2 cup sliced almonds.
  11. Gently fold in the diced apple and almonds. Spread the remaining diced apple and almonds evenly over the top.
  12. Place the casserole dish into a larger 9x13 inch baking pan.
  13. Pour 1 cup of hot water into the bottom of the 9x13 inch pan (this helps create a moist baking environment).
  14. Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil.
  15. Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown and set. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  16. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
