Pecan Pie Bread Pudding
This Pecan Pie Bread Pudding is a rich and indulgent twist on two classic Southern desserts. Soft cubes of French bread soak up a sweet custard, then get layered with a buttery, brown sugar pecan topping that tastes just like pecan pie filling. The result is a golden, gooey, crowd-pleasing treat that’s perfect for the holidays or any cozy gathering.
