Recipe: Leftover Bagel Bread Pudding
This is the leftovers from the last Daring Baker’s Challenge – Bagels! I love bread pudding and I made several sweet versions of the bagel in addition to the ones I showcased for the challenge and stuck them in the freezer, so I figured what better way to use them up than by making some bread pudding! Happy Friday everyone and enjoy your weekend!
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups of bagel pieces
3 ½ cups of whole milk
½ cup of caramel coffee creamer (didn’t have enough milk, so took a gamble with this and it was really good!)
3 eggs
½ cup melted butter
1 cup of sugar
1 c. shredded coconut
¾ cup chocolate chips
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
METHOD:
Butter a large baking dish. Preheat oven to 350 F. Place bagel pieces into baking dish, sprinkle with coconut and chocolate chips. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, coffee creamer, eggs, melted butter, vanilla and sugar. Once sugar has melted, pour custard over the bagel pieces and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (or both!)

Jenn, my mother would be so proud of you … if only you were her daughter instead of me. She is so creative with the leftovers and says that wasting food is a sin. I asked her once to locate that sin in the bible and she could not.
Anyway, you are a clever girl to think of using bagels. But it does make sense when you think about it. Yum.

looks amazing – my mum used to make bread and butter pudding and it is when I see a version like this with chocolate and good bread that I think I should really try it myself some time

Hi Patricia! Well you could always make bagels again! LOL!
Peter! I know it is such an amazing combination!
Deborah! I am now looking for other alternative to regular bread puddings….
Sylvia! Thanks!
Sukanya! Let me know how it works out for you!
Candace! That is too funny! Not wasting food is something that is completely ingrained in me! I guess it is just a learned behavior! Yes, I love using different bread products for bread pudding!
Thanks Amanda! I just love a good bread pudding! And most people have everything they need in the fridge already!
Thanks so much Glenna!
Sandi! They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and Roberto is no different in that regard, I believe!
Thanks Cynthia! I am glad you like it!

I would love to hear 2nd opinions from people who made this dish . . .
what is the texture like when using bagels? how is the sweetness level?
Is it heavy? and answers to any other questions I didn’t think ask.
