Honey Praline Bread Pudding Recipe

When I host a brunch time gathering, I like to make something that is definitely a treat, but that has enough substance to keep you going through the next part of the day. This hearty bread pudding was perfect on both counts. I tried it with fruit, nuts, whipped cream, and powdered sugar and cinnamon. My little guy declared it “honey cake” (Why? I have no idea, as it’s nothing like cake, but if it makes him happy, it makes me happy.) and kept trying to steal mine. (You’re lucky I got a photo for you, as he’s perfectly capable of inserting his spoon right into my photo shoot!)

My guests also seemed to approve, as I got many compliments. My only word of advice is to make sure you use a large enough casserole. I did not, and the praline topping boiled over into an unholy mess in my oven. Enjoy!
