Gluten Free Lemon Curd Bread Pudding

The other day my husband and I were shopping at the 99 cents only store and to my surprise they carry Gluten Free Products like Glutino's Harvest Corn Bread. I had never seen this product before and I noticed the size of the bread was a great deal larger than my regular Gluten Free Bread that I buy at $7.00 a bag. So for $0.99 I thought what the heck lets do something fun with this bread besides making toast or Sandwiches.
So I thought to my self how about a bread pudding recipe that won't break the bank. So I created this lucious lemon curd bread pudding.

Equipment
13 x 9 pan
whisk
Sauce Pan
Bowl
wooden spoon
Aluminum foil to cover.

Bread Pudding Ingredients
1 loaf of Harvest Corn Bread by Glutino
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Gluten Free Cornstarch
the zest of a whole lemon about 2 Tablespoon
1/2 cup lemon juice about 2 lemons
1 1/2 cups water
6 egg yolks
Butter for pan

Lemon Curd Sauce
3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 ounces lemonchello or lemon extract

Take the bread and shred in small bite size pieces place in bowl and set aside.

In a sauce pan or frying pan whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest.

 Next add lemon juice, water and 6 beaten egg yolks make sure you wait until lemon juice is diluted. You do not want to cook eggs in acid of lemon juice.

Now cook on the stove until slightly thickened you do not want to have to thick because it will also thicken in oven. Next pour on top of bread and mix until fully coated.

Butter a 13 x 9 pan  I used a oval because I like my bread pudding a little thicker.

Now pour into the pan and bake for 30 minutes covered at 350 degrees and 30 minutes uncovered. Now if you are making this ahead of time (A day before ) you can cook for 30 minutes covered then place in refrigerator over night . Then place in oven for another 30 minutes prior to serving like I did.

Next make the Lemon Curd sauce in a frying pan add yolks, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla and milk and whisk together.

Next add water.

Then bring to a boil adding lemonchello or lemon extract at end.

Serve with whipped cream and sauce warm

Enjoy,

Gluten Free Spiced Vanilla French Toast with Fresh Strawberries)

I went to the cupboard, To give my poor child a breakfast: When finally there, The cupboard was not yet bare, only 7 items were there, And so the poor girl had to wait to see what her Mom could make, out of these 7 magical Ingredients.

I woke up this past Sunday Morning with the following Ingredients in my Cupboard/Refrigerator: Strawberries, Powder Sugar, Loaf of stale Gluten Free Bread, 1 egg ,Vanilla, Cream and only a 1/4 cup of milk and some spices. Plus I scrounged up some brown and serve sausage in my freezer which I happened to purchase at the 99 cents store.

So What Did I make ?
Cinnamon spiced Vanilla French Toast with Fresh Strawberries
Ingredients:
Gluten free bread of choice
1 egg
1 pint of Strawberries sliced ( For Garnish)
Powder Sugar (For Garnish)
1/2  cup Whipping Cream
1/4 Cup Milk
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon All Spice
 1 teaspoon Butter for Grill

Equipment:
1 Large Bowl
1 Whisk
A frying Pan or a grill

                                            

Heat grill and place butter on.



Take one egg crack in Large Bowl and whisk until well blended add Coffee Mate and Milk plus Cinnamon and Allspice. Whisk together until well Blended

Next Slice Bread on the diagonal this way the slices are a lot larger and I feel it looks a lot prettier too.

Take Bread and float and flip in egg mixture then fry or grill on greased pan cook on low until golden then flip. Repeat on both sides.

TIP OF THE DAY: Make sure Eggs are completely cooked through! The reason I say this is salmonella poisoning. I really want to stress that you need to make sure that your eggs are completely cooked!!! I like to put my french toast inside the oven after I cook it for 20 minutes at 250 degrees. This way my bacon or sausage is hot when I serve and my fruit is freshly cut.

 
 

When finished place on plate with French Toast and Strawberries on top I served with Sausage but you could also do Bacon if that’s what’s in the Cupboard/Refrigerator
 
Bon Appetite, Enjoy !!
