Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Bread Pudding

This is the ultimate in comfort food desserts. Turn leftover bagels into a decadent dessert that will have them asking for more.

This bread pudding is crazy good when you serve it with my Sweet Bourbon Butter Sauce. The pudding is soft and creamy on the inside with bits of crunchy bagel on the top. Serve it warm or at room temperature. I promise you are going to LOVE it.

8. Divide the raisin among the four ramekins.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• For best results, let the bagels soak in the egg mixture for 15 minutes before baking. Or make it the night before and let the bagels soak overnight.
• Use leftover or stale bagels. If you use fresh bagels, pop them in the toaster for a few minutes to get them a little crispy.
• Add toasted pecans or walnuts to the mixture for a little extra crunch.
• Substitute rum for bourbon to make this a butter rum sauce.
