Brioche Bread Pudding (Crazy Easy)

Brioche Bread Pudding (Crazy Easy) is a custard-soaked dessert layering soft brioche and sliced pears, sprinkled with chocolate chips before baking. This pudding delivers a creamy texture with bursts of fruit sweetness and melted chocolate throughout. The recipe's resting time allows the bread to absorb the custard fully, resulting in a tender and rich final dish.

Description

This simple bread pudding uses rich brioche bread cut into halves and layered in a baking dish along with sliced pears for fruity contrast. A custard mixture of beaten eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, whole milk, and whipping cream is whisked until smooth and poured over the brioche and pears. Letting the bread soak the custard for 30 minutes before baking deepens the custardy texture.

Chocolate chips scattered over the top add pockets of melty sweetness when baked. The dish is baked at 350°F for 35 minutes, setting the custard and achieving a lightly golden surface. The combination of brioche’s buttery crumb, juicy pears, and pockets of chocolate creates a dessert with balanced flavors and a comforting texture.

This approach makes a straightforward, comforting pudding that is approachable for all skill levels and versatile with optional fruit or additions.
