How to Make Fruity Bread Pudding For Two

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-cup baking dish.
  2. Cube 1 cup leftover bread (challah, French, or Italian) into 1-inch pieces.
  3. In the prepared baking dish, combine the bread cubes with 1/2 cup chopped apple and 1/4 cup dried fruit (apricots, cranberries, or cherries).
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup milk and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until steaming (do not boil).
  6. Gradually whisk the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream, ensuring a smooth consistency.
  7. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and fruit mixture in the baking dish.
  8. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  9. Gently press down on the bread to ensure even moisture.
  10. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or to taste).
  11. Bake for 30 minutes, or until puffed and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crusty. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
