Description

This classic Bread Pudding Pie transforms simple bread and a sweet custard filling into a comforting dessert baked in a flaky pie crust. Featuring warm vanilla and nutmeg flavors, it’s perfect served chilled and makes a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • Dough for single-crust pie

Filling

  • 1 cup cubed bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/8-inch-thick circle. Transfer it gently to a 9-inch pie plate, trimming the crust to extend 1/2 inch beyond the rim of the plate. Use your fingers to flute the edge for a decorative finish.
  2. Arrange bread and mix custard: Place the cubed bread evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie crust. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, 2% milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
  3. Combine and season: Pour the egg and milk mixture over the bread cubes, making sure they are well soaked. Sprinkle the surface evenly with ground nutmeg and dot with small pieces of butter.
  4. Start baking: Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 10 minutes to help set the custard.
  5. Continue baking at lower temperature: Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 45 to 50 minutes. Insert a knife in the center to check doneness; it should come out clean when the pudding is set. During the last 15 minutes of baking, cover the crust edge loosely with foil if it starts to brown too much to prevent overbrowning.
  6. Cool and chill: Remove the pie from the oven, discard the foil, and allow it to cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours before serving to let it set completely and enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale bread for best texture and absorption of the custard.
  • Covering the crust edge with foil prevents burning during longer bake times.
  • Chilling the pie helps the custard firm up and improves slicing.
  • You can substitute whole milk or other milk varieties but 2% gives a balanced creaminess.
  • Add raisins or cinnamon for a variation in flavor.
