Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 to 6 slices of bread, torn into small pieces, about 6 to 7 ounces or 4 to 5 cups
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Golden Vanilla Sauce

  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup or corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the oven and pan. Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a 2-quart baking dish.

  • Make the bread pudding mixture. In a large bowl, combine the eggs and milk; whisk until blended. Whisk in the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Add the torn bread pieces and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to give the bread time to soak up the milk and egg mixture.

  • Add the blueberries. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the powdered sugar. Fold them into the bread and milk mixture and transfer the pudding mixture to the prepared baking dish.

  • Bake the bread pudding. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until lightly browned. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean. Or, look for a temperature of approximately 175°F on an instant-read thermometer.

  • Meanwhile, make the vanilla sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, syrup, cream, and butter. Bring to a boil and continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the sauce from the heat and add the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
