Do You Have to Refrigerate Bread Pudding?

[KellyTheChef]

I made some this morning to take for Easter tomorrow. Do I need to refrigerate it since there's so much milk and eggs in it?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Yes, you would need to refrigerate it. Did you make it in the DCB? It would be really easy to heat up in the micro if you did!



I LOVE Bread Pudding! It's the ultimate comfort food for me.

No...I wanted more surface area = more "crust" so I did it in the square baker.

Thanks for the quick answer!!

My Dad and both of his brothers LOVE it, so I am making it for our family Easter dinner.

I made these super easy Baklava bars (use sugar cookie dough as the base and crumble up the little pyhlo dough crusts to make them crunchy and having a similar texture to baklava) and they turned out well too!

I need to get my deviled eggs done now! (or at least make up the filling today and assemble them tomorrow...)

RECIPES?!?!? please?

Here is the bread pudding one. Of course, I NEVER make a recipe without changing it...I used an entire package of day old crissonts (about 10+ cups cubed) and added some of our Cinnamon Plus. Other than that, the rest of the ingredients are the same as what it calls for.

I WANTED crust on the bread pudding, so I did not cook it in a water bath. Instead, I reduced the temp of the oven to 325. Took about 70 minutes to cook.

Here are the baklava bars. It only called for 8 of the 12 phylo shells to be used. I decided to crumble up 8 and add to the filling part, then crumble the remaining 4 on the top before baking the second time. I also decreased the amount of chopped walnuts to 1 cup.
