Slow Cooker Bread Pudding with Salted Caramel Sauce

Ingredients for the Bread Pudding:

  • 6 cups of day-old bread, cubed (white or brioche works great)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Instructions for the Bread Pudding:

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the cubed bread to the mixture, gently folding until the bread is coated and soaked.
  4. Pour the bread mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the pudding is set and a little firm in the middle.

Ingredients for the Salted Caramel Sauce:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
