Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 5 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 loaf day-old French baguette
• 0.5 cup butter
• 1.5 cups brown sugar
• 3.5 cups whole milk
• 1.5 cups shelled pecan halves

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Cut bread into cubes; arrange on a baking sheet. Dry out at room temperature for about 1 hour.

Step 3

Beat eggs together in a medium bowl. Stir in milk, white sugar, and vanilla until combined.

Step 4

Place bread cubes in a baking pan; pour milk mixture over bread cubes.

Step 5

Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved, then stir in pecans.

Step 6

Pour pecan mixture over bread cubes; gently fold. Don't mix it in thoroughly, just fold it so pecan mixture forms clumps throughout bread pudding.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until top is slightly brown, 45 to 55 minutes. The center will still be a little jiggly.

Step 8

Cool before serving, at least 20 minutes.
