Wanted: foolproof brioche bread and butter pudding ..

[nectarine]

... help! I've never made a b&b pudding before but have to make one tomorrow, seems it's a special request! So I have brioche, milk, eggs, sugar and some chocolate .... now what do I do?

Can someone please post me a foolproof recipe, one that works every time? I'd be hugely grateful as I fear that, without a tried and tested recipe, I may serve up a sloppy soggy brioche that people will have to drink from their plates!

Thanks all.

I haven't tried making B & B pudding with brioche, but have these links on file:

B & B pudding made with panetone bread and boozy dutch raisins is also delish!!!

Yesterday's butter croissants work too.

Sounds delish - but in THIS HEAT! Café glacé for our friends tonight, after the BBQ - coffee and vanilla ice-cream in a big glass, with broken-up meringue, covered in cold coffee and a bit of chantilly. Could'nt face bread and butter pud today.

you could cheat and buy a carton of creme anglaise, I have done that before and works out fab, I also layer some apples and a small dash of Calvados in mine

That sounds good - definitely will go with the Calva next time (as said, when it has cooled down a bit) - 34C outside, and 28 in.

thank you all, I tried the recipe and it worked. Actually it was surprisingly light. I was only disappointed though that it rose in the oven and looked fabulous, all fluffy, but deflated substantially when I took it out of the oven ... is it supposed to do that?
