Bread pudding with leftover hot dog buns (brown sugar, mushroom, vanilla)

[LilyMae521]

So, four leftover hot dog buns have been on my kitchen counter staring at me since Wednesday. I put them out of their misery this morning and the result was pretty tasty.


Mix together very well one cup milk (I used 2%), two eggs, two egg whites, four tablespoons brown sugar, one tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp almond extract. Pour over the four rolls that have been cut into one inch cubes and placed in a buttered casserole. Mix up a bit. Cover and cook in microwave about 15 minutes at 50% power, or until well set. You could certainly add chocolate chips or raisins or nuts.


Hope someone enjoys this.


Just realized I probably should have just put this in the recipe section, instead of starting a new thread. If a moderator agrees, I'd be happy if it gets moved. Thanks.

There isn't any reason it wouldn't work. It's just ordinary white bread. Once it is cubed the only difference between that and sandwich bread is you would get more crust with the buns. I like bread crust in bread pudding, so that's a plus.

Your recipe sounds good.

We like to make Emeril's Mushroom bread pudding to go with roasts or steaks. Something like hot dog buns would be perfect in that. It's always great to see someone finding a use for food that otherwise might get tossed.

Sounds like a good use it or lose it dish!

Another use for hot dog buns you know you won't finish is to blitz them in the food processor or blender for homemade bread crumbs, seasoned or plain.
